I know that a diligent blogger would be writing about Mardi Gras in the Gaslamp tonight, but the thing about it is that you either love that sort of thing or you hate it. I'm not gonna change any minds here, and if you're set out to party, all I can say is have a great time. Just please don't trample me as I try to take pictures of the Crystal Method (read Scott McDonald's interview).
For the rest of you, there are stilll great shows around town tonight, including the Mattson2 at El Dorado (a great escape from Mardi Gras), Morcheeba's at the House of Blues, and Everest plays the final of their four week residency at the Casbah. As a courtesy to fans, the band has been playing all the favorites while setting their set time earlier so people aren't losing their jobs in the morning. Come wish our friends in Everest a final farewell, or at the very least, a "see you again soon."
