Tickets to Jollity

This is the pleasing sight that greets me every time i walk by the fridge.

It announces an exciting spring season full of great concerts and events:
- top notch world fusion with Balkan Beat Box at the legendary 9:30 club, and Orange Blossom at the Lisner with its excellent acoustics;
- the best of the best in advanced jazz fusion with the one and only John McLaughlin, Chick Corea and an all star line-up at the superb Strathmore hall;
- the always fantastic annual Cheese tasting extravaganza at the National Geographic with the erudite and immensely opinionated and entertaining Steve Jenkins, the first American to be honored as a Chevalier du Taste Fromage;
- and the kick ass nordic metal assault of Opeth.

Last but not least, this spring my bandmates from IRITIS and I might also be opening for a hugely world renown band. I hope to have some actual news to share soon....
