Concert Season

This week marks the start to what seems to be an active fall concert season. Here is a list of the upcoming shows heading through town:

Local Natives – Thursday, October 7th (House of Blues)
Devendra Banhart – Friday, October 8th (Warehouse Live)
Portugal the Man – Monday, October 11th (Fitzgerald’s)
Of Montreal – Thursday, November 4th (Numbers)
Iron & Wine – Sunday, November 21st (Fitzgerald’s)

We also have tickets to the Monsters of Beer festival on Sunday, October 17th in Midtown, which celebrates the last day of Houston Beer Week. (Not technically a concert, but should be fun nonetheless.)

I'm looking forward to all of the shows - especially considering those are some of my favorite bands. Throw Metric into the mix and I wouldn't be able to contain my excitement. (I've been trying to catch a Metric show for the past 5 years and somehow always miss them.)

However, I'm worried that my ever-decreasing bed time will inhibit my ability to stay awake for all of the shows. Seriously, I get my ni-night time grouchiness earlier and earlier these days. It's quite sad actually. I think I'm going to have to load up on coffee to get through the night.

At least living in town has decreased the time spent on the road going to concerts compared to when we were in The Woodlands. I'll make it home an hour earlier than those days.

Wish me luck on Thursday - it will be the first test of my endurance.
