Today is not the 29th.
So, here’s the thing, I’ve been really excited to finally see Garrison Starr perform live. I first heard her music about three days after the last time she played The Great SLC nearly four years ago. I was stoked when i got an email from her fan list saying she was finally coming back on the 27th at dear ol’ Kilby Court.
Yesterday, i went to Smith’s and bought the tickets and said “I’m looking for the tickets for tomorrow night’s show at Kilby… Garrison Star & Jay Nash.” The teller asked, “What day….who?” To which I replied, “Garrison Starr” (consider this clue one). 30 seconds later I swiped my card and walked away.
After a lovely dinner this evening (the 27th), sweet Andrea and I headed to the show. As we were walking in I noticed Angel Taylor (you know, the VH1 You oughta know artist that opened for Sister Brandi Carlile last year), standing near the stage entrance. I though it was odd she would be there since she was not on the listing I had seen for the show (this would be a good time to clue into how this story is going to end).
On Angel’s 2nd or 3rd song Andrea turned to me and said “I noticed the sign out front didn’t say Garrison” (clue three for you folks). At this point I decided I should check the ticket….and then I laughed. And then I showed Andrea the ticket. And then she laughed.
And now I will be enjoying the sweet songs of Miss Star later this week…on the 29th.
(As a bonus, I thoroughly enjoyed tonight’s music as well. Here’s a picture for those of you who need proof).

The people at the Smith’s ticket place always get confused. It was THEM not YOU.
Dear Garrison,
You just made my day. And now I’m even a little more excited to see your show tomorrow. I wish you the happiest of birthdays!

p.s. If you wanted to sing Cigarettes and Spearmint, I wouldn’t be sad…at all.
Em,
Not only did we thoroughly get to enjoy Angel, but now, we will be recieving two shows for the price of one at the best venue ever, besides the fact that they don’t serve beer, but still the best. Can’t wait to see Miss Starr tonight. Hearts and Hugs!
How awesome is THAT?
