"I've had the pleasure of seeing many concerts this year, but there were others that I missed. I still have two concerts on my schedule for this month and just heard there's a festival coming soon to Oakley. As the concert season winds down, I find solace in the fact that football season is just getting started. Woohoo!
I want to express my sincere gratitude to all of you for sharing your favorite concerts this year. Your input has been invaluable, and I'm eager to explore some new bands based on your recommendations. While it's impossible to catch every performance, I'm hopeful that I'll discover some remarkable ones thanks to all of you. Thank you for your support!"

Now this is a conundrum, paint a Vincent Van Gogh takeoff with a fresh beer in my hand, or see a comedy show at a nice place to eat, drink and laugh at or hit the food trucks again and a concert at the Veranda? I need to think about this one...
