I'm going to see Van Morrison tonight at the brand-spanking-new Beacon Theater. This is very exciting, as Van will be playing Astral Weeks from front to end. He will also be playing another set of rarely heard songs (this per the Beacon Theater website). I'm also a little geeked out to see the Beacon renovation. It's an amazing venue.

Also, I'll be heading down to New Orleans on Sunday for a conference and have plans to eat my way through the city. I haven't been to New Orleans since 2003, so I'm excited to get down there. I've never been down there in a professional capacity, so I'll need to make an effort to keep my unslakable thirst for beads in check.
