Love/Hate

Reason to love LA: when something happens that warrants charity concerts, they are all over the city. Fiona Apple with Jon Brion and Gillian Welch (and others) on Saturday. Radiohead benefit show on Sunday. Jenny Lewis and Azure Ray (and others) on Tuesday.

Reason to hate LA: Fiona Apple show sold out before I even heard about it. Radiohead is selling tickets auction style to raise the most money. That makes a lot of sense from a charity standpoint, but also means that I can't afford tickets. So while I have the potential to actually go to these shows because of geography, the whole population of LA also has that potential...and apparently doesn't have a low-paying day job that keeps them from affording the tickets and from hearing of the shows in time to even buy them.
