Last night was the perfect way to cap off the summer. We parked a block away from the venue and on the way to The Fillmore, I saw Jose Gonzalez walking along the sidewalk like he wasn’t the most badass guy. I stopped and greeted him like a dork and ended up introducing myself. He was awesome.
Up front, right at the security barrier, we witnessed Jose Gonzalez pretty much kill it. I lost it when he covered Massive Attack’s Teardrop. I lost it again when Zero 7 transitioned into Pharcyde’s Runnin’ after performing a song that features Jose. That three hours of Zero 7, Sia and Jose Gonzalez were as good as it gets. This year is the year of the most badass shows. Feist on September 8. I will return to the Fillmore.
One more year left in Sac, Kate and I are seriously considering early packing. We are jetting out of here the moment we can. No disrespect to Sac lovers, but my heart has always been for the city—but my heart now belongs to an even bigger city. It’s going to happen. I’m living in Brooklyn next year.
