important dates in the near future

so I figured I should make a list of all the cool stuff that's happening in the near future so you can keep track for yourself. Also, your chances of seeing me otherwise are low, so take advantage of these opportunities!

Sunday, August 14th @4PM-- Music Day
We are having people over at 4pm tomorrow to play music, eat some good food, and in general have a good time. Bring an instrument, a dish to share, and a friend!

Thursday, August 18th @6PM-- Jenny and Tyler House show
I really like Jenny and Tyler. They're funny, they're sincere, and they're damn good musicians. They will be playing in our living room, which is always an awesome experience. If you've never come to a house show at the Loftus house, now is your chance. We will be cooking out starting at 6, then music starts at 7pm with a few songs from me. After that, prepare yourself for the thoughtful, beautiful, and fun music of Jenny & Tyler! The show is $10, which includes free dinner!

Sunday, August 21st @8PM-- Leagues show
If I could be a full-time musician, I think I'd most want to be like Thad Cockrell. One of his stated goals is to "put the hurt back in country," and his debut album "To Be Loved" did that pretty perfectly. He has a new band, Leagues, and I am very excited about going down to Virginia to see them play. It's only $12, and it will be awesome.

Saturday, September 3rd @7PM-- Dinner at the Loftus Family House
A lot of you haven't met my whole family yet, nor have you experienced dinner at the Loftus house. It is not to be missed, and so there's an open invitation to eat at my parents' house on Friday, September 3rd. Show up when you can, RSVP as you can, and just be prepared to be someone's new best friend. E-mail/call me for details.

September 16-18-- Spaceship Building Weekend
This is not relevant to most of you, but I will be part of the Leonard the Lonely Astronaut spaceship building weekend in Nashville, TN. If you live in Nashville (or nearby!), this would be a great opportunity for us to see each other, especially since I don't get down south as nearly as often as I'd like.

November 10-12-- Global Missions Health Conference
The Global Health Missions Conference is my favorite conference I've been to, and I'm always really glad when I get the chance to go. If you are in some kind of medical field or interested in ministry & health-- which I think covers a lot of people who read my blog-- you should think about coming. It's not too expensive if you're a student and you can get housed for free!

well, that's about all. There may also be another end-of-summer cookout coming up, and we haven't confirmed it yet but you should probably not schedule anything important for Saturday, November 5th because someone awesome might be playing a house show then.
