The Happy Hollows Monday Residency at Spaceland Starts This Week

Sorry for the lack of posts, thanks for sticking with me.

I caught Kris Kristofferson at the Walt Disney Concert Hall last night. You've got to be a fan of his poetry, because he's not a dynamic performer. That said, he's a legend and I was happy to see him for a second time. I've missed all the recent "secret" shows, but there are a few more this week...
