A bit of a quiet week this week.  All sorts of things I want to see, on nights or times that I can’t do.  Such is life.

If you’re near a movie theater on Friday, you should hunt down somewhere that’s playing Norman.  A list of theaters it’s debuting in on Friday can be found at the movie’s Facebook page.  Andrew Bird did the score/soundtrack, but the movie stands on its own feet as something I’d want to see anyway.  Really.  I promise.

March is getting off to a bit of a slow start.  I think the month of March knows that I will be spending most of April skulking about in various venues for an absurd number of shows.  March is telling me that I need to get my sleep, I think.

This week is incredibly quiet for music in Chicago. Maybe everyone is turning Columbus Day into a whole week of holiday, I don’t know.  Lucinda Williams has her three-night residency at Park West, where she’s covering material from throughout her career on each night.  Lincoln Hall opens this Friday, with Mike Doughty kicking things off.  And Wilco hits Chicago again, with a sold out show at the UIC Pavillion.

Not on the list (because they’re not Chicago shows) but explaining where I’ll be instead of at any of the interesting Chicago shows this weekend, are Andrew Bird’s shows on Friday and Saturday at Milwaukee’s Pabst Theatre.  Friday is Bird with his full band, and Dosh opening, and Saturday will be a solo show, with St. Vincent opening.  Both nights are being filmed, so they should be two very special nights.  I’ll be sure to make myself look very pretty for the cameras.
