Considering I’ve done three music festivals for the past three weekends, I’m taking a breather and catching up with some close friends. Check out all the music and events to keep you busy with a good time! Oh, and the Sunset Strip Music Festival is this weekend, I can’t believe they have a lame band like the Kottonmouth Kings playing … ewww
