As I’m wrapping up with finals week at Mt. SAC I can already feel that the long, sultry days of summer are nearing. I love soaking up the rays of sunshine and taking some time to relax from the busy school year. Summer time also brings open-air concert series into full swing at venues such as the  Hollywood Bowl and Pacific Amphitheater. The Hollywood Bowl opens on June 22nd and there are many concerts that I’m interested in from KCRW’s world festival to Madeleine Peyroux, Goat Rodeo, Vampire Weekend and of course, EARTH, WIND and FIRE!! Eugene and I will have to venture out there on the Metrolink with a picnic. I enjoy the relaxed atmosphere at outdoor concerts and cozying up with a blanket under the stars. Pacific Symphony’s new WAVELENGTH festival, at Pacific Amphitheater August 22-25, 2013 has really piqued my interest as it involves the symphony joining forces with The Airborne Toxic Event and Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon. There are so many great choices! What are YOU going to hear this summer?
