Well, I can officially report back that Tame Impala was incredible last night. Definitely feeling the lack of sleep this morning, but absolutely no regrets.

And apparently I’m not done being social this week because tomorrow I’ll be in Seattle to hang out with the Do206 team! I don’t make it up there nearly enough, so I’m excited to see everyone, eat some good food, and probably come back with a few Seattle recommendations I didn’t ask for lol.

Before I start thinking about the drive north, let’s give away some tickets. Enter to win tickets to see The Mary Wallopers at the Crystal Ballroom on Tuesday, March 30th.
