Tonight I’m going to see the Orange Opera, a local band featuring my friend Mike Ostermeyer (whom I’ve written about here before).
I saw them play for the first time a few weeks ago and was pleased to discover they’re really good. (I would have supported them no matter what, but it’s nice when your friend’s band is worth spreading the word about.) They also happen to be great live.
Tonight they’re playing a free show at Mid City Grill in Fort Wayne with Nik Freitas (who opened for Rilo Kiley on their latest tour) starting at 10.

this qualifies as a bad day
My sister Amanda is house-sitting for our second cousins this week, mostly to take care of their family dog, Shira. They’ve had her forever, their kids have grown up with her, she’s like a member of the family — all the cliches.
They left yesterday morning for Florida and Amanda went over in the afternoon to let the dog out and move in for the week. Shira was acting a little strange so Amanda called the owners to find out what to do. They told her Shira was probably just acting out because she was upset they were gone and not to worry about it.
This afternoon, Shira died.
My guess is Amanda won’t want to house-sit again for awhile.
