Summer concert season is just a few weeks away and I am so excited. I will be kicking the summer off at the Sasquatch Festival at the Gorge Memorial Day weekend.

There are so many great bands I am looking forward to seeing, but I'm most excited for Jane's. My most favorite show of all time (so far) was the Jane's Addiction reunion show at the Key Arena. Must have been in about 1998. My friends and I were standing about halfway back on the main floor. The beginning of the show was just incredible. All the poignant, beautiful songs you were hoping to hear ... crazy stage sets ... dancers climbing up and gliding down crazy tall stripper poles. But then things went from great to amazing when mid-way through the show the band came out to a smaller stage just a few feet away from where we were standing to play "Jane Says." I stared at Dave Navarro, shirtless in a silver sequin mini skirt, the whole time. The man is seriously gorgeous. He so kicks the shit out of current guyliner pussies like Pete-I-named-my-child-Bronx-because-Beckham-already-took-Brooklyn-Wentz.
If you missed out on tickets for Sasquatch, don't worry -- Capitol Hill Block party tickets go on sale this weekend. The line-up is great and you don't even have to travel!

And of course the summer wouldn't be complete without Bumbershoot!

The line-up is sounding better and better as new acts are announced. Franz Ferdinand??!! They brought some serious rock to the Moore a couple weeks ago. Get their new album now. It is dancey and energetic and just perfect for summer roadtrips.
