Slug Tracks - Updated weekly
Fan of: and not a fan of: San Fransisco - I went this weekend for a music festival and have mixed reviews of the city. Here are some pros: they named the fog “carl” which I think is funny. A lot of the buildings were colors that did not give house in a traditional sense. I liked the wetness of the city. My uber driver accused me of being an angel sent from heaven - thank you Leslie (male). Cons: I walked from one end to the other end (horizontal) and my feet really hurt after. The hills were a bit ominous? I kept having intrusive thoughts about going down them on rollerblades. I had a conversation with a person who lives in SF and she turned out to be a VC who invests in AI. She mentioned drones and a dating app for gen z men who can’t talk to women. Relationship advice powered by generative AI is the future :( </3 —> <3 :)

Saturday, August 16th
Headliner: Jackson Browne
Venue: The Beacon Theatre
For Fans Of: You’re probably like “why would she put Jackson Browne on here” and the answer is because I love Jackson Browne. His song “Doctor My Eyes” is the song I put on when I am feeling sad and I would highly recommend listening to it.. He also wrote “Take it Easy” by the Eagles and “These Days” by Nico… so put some respect on that mans name!!!!!!
