Saturday, we'll be heading out to Hollywood to see Wait.Think.Fast. open for Ximena Sariñana. It's been a year ago almost to the day that Ximena celebrated the release of her wonderful debut record Mediocre at the 100-capacity sold-out Mint. That was one of the best shows we saw last year. And WTF was playing our pretzel night last April. Now, they're both at the Avalon. What a difference a year makes, eh?
