Jason Falkner at Spaceland
Mrs. P. and I got to go on a rare date last night to see Jason Falkner at Spaceland in Silver Lake. (We had dinner down the street at a good Italian restaurant called Domenico’s, which served some absolutely wonderful ciabatta bread from a place in Santa Monica called Ca D’Oro.) Falkner, formerly of Jellyfish and the Grays, has had a long solo career with many interesting songs.
It was a good show. Falkner concentrated mostly on songs from his last two albums; sadly, there were no Grays songs on the set list. Still, a nice night out; it was almost as if we weren’t in our forties.
I come for the trenchant political commentary and insightful, well-reasoned arguments. The fact that you’re a Falkner/Jellyfish/Greys fan is just gravy. (Well, and also a fellow-married forty-something, but I digress) Thanks for everything-I’ll have to see if Falkner’s going to be in Portland in the next little bit.

“..it was almost as if we weren’t in our forties.”
That’s cute.
I think I remember you are opera fans. I saw the Live from the Met production of Turandot at the local AMC. Fabulous! At several theaters in the southland. Saw Tosca, too. Highly recommended.

Born in ‘68, Falkner’s now in his 40s as well. Wish he’d hit the east coast.
