Finally it's the weekend! I have a couple shows planned for this Saturday and Sunday. I would go out tonight, but I don't feel like driving to Los Angeles and back then finding and paying for parking just to attend a $10 show. Which sucks too because it's a fucking discount for concert ticket prices these days. No matter, I'll check out Alyssa Suede another time. Perhaps next week in Santa Barbara.

So for tomorrow I will be joining my long-time friend Scott to check out Café Tacuba at the Ventura Theatre. This will be my 6th time seeing them and third time in Ventura. I love this band! Hands down the best diversified band from Mexico City! <3 I can't wait and look very forward to the show.

On Sunday I will be going to see Vicente Fernandez for the very first time ever! I'm very excited about this concert mostly because this is like the Mexican folk singer I grew up listening to through my parents and aunts and uncles as a small child. Growing up in a Mexican family one gets to listen to a lot of mariachi music and Vicente Fernandez is one of the best singers of ranchera music ever.

Last year my folks went to see him play last time he was at the Gibson Amphitheatre for their first time and I was jealous that I couldn't go. This time it's just me going, but I have the best seat I could have scored for this. I have a front row, rail seat right behind the orchestra pit! Getting good tickets is not easy and this man has SOLD OUT NINE SHOWS at the Gibson Amphitheatre!!! It will be one of the best shows I will have seen in my life to date. This man is a Mexican folk music icon and I can finally get the chance to listen to him perform. :)
