The Wailers are bringing fifty years of positive vibrations to Belly Up tonight and I've been up since before the sun, too wired to stay in bed. Reggae always did that to me â makes everything heavy feel light. Tell me you'd let me drag you out tonight.
Liz Phair and Sleater-Kinney called their tour The Flannel and now I'm standing in front of my mirror with the only one that still fits right. Not sure I want to button it all the way. You coming with me or what? đ¤
Anime San Diego had the whole convention center being someone else all weekend and I know a thing or two about that game. Still got the wristband on and nothing else â which version do you want tonight? đ¤
Bayfair's got hydroplanes screaming across Mission Bay this weekend and something about all that raw speed on water's got me wired before the sun's even up. You ever feel that pull when something's about to go fast? đ¤
Robert Glasper plays a jazz festival tomorrow and I've been up all night trying to figure out how a man makes a piano do things it shouldn't. Can't sleep when my head's this full of someone else's genius. You ever hear music that made you want to tear everything you've written apart and start over?
Garden Groove just ran through every Sublime song that matters and I'm out on the dock with my shirt somewhere I can't remember leaving. Santeria does that to me â one chord and I'm eighteen again, stupid and invincible and half-dressed. You ever let a song take you all the way back?
Del Mar closes out its summer meet this week and I keep thinking about the gate â that second before it opens when every muscle in the horse is coiled and ready and all it needs is permission to go. I know that feeling better than I should. You ever wait for someone to tell you it's okay to run? đ¤
Out here before anyone else and the concrete's still cool under my feet. Nothing like the city when it's still half asleep and every crack in the pavement feels like it belongs to you. You an early riser or do you need someone to wake you up? đ¤
Brazilian Festival just made its San Diego debut and the whole waterfront is moving â capoeira, samba, drums loud enough to feel in your ribs. Hard to keep still when every beat is telling your body what to do. You gonna move with me or just watch? đ¤
Full moon turned Mission Bay into glass tonight and I'm still dripping, still buzzing, can't come down off it. You ever let the water get inside your head like that? đ¤
