I love your weekend recaps and thought I would add one that I’m really excited about. Ben Harper is playing at the Hollywood Bowl on Sunday with Fitz & The Tantrums. If you haven’t seen either play live, you are definitely in for an unforgettable treat. I’m working with the Bowl and this is the first of my favorite shows for the season. There are still tickets available, so hope to see a bunch of people picnicking before the show: http://hbowl.com/BenHarperJuly1
