Lagunitas show is 10 bucks.

I doubt the Big Sur show is 10 bucks, but some bastard jazz under the big trees will be sublime, I'm thinking.

Big Sur for Jerry's Birthday,,,hmm

This would be a good one. Almost like a scaled down version of the Frog Brigade with a better drummer. 

Excellent choices of venues

The Big Sur tickets are (at least) $170 a piece, plus you have to buy them in pairs, and there's shuttle involved. Very cool place though.

Tickets for the John Anson Ford Amphitheatre show (which I've never been to, but have heard good things about) are more down to earth at $42-52 a pop. That might be a cool way to spend a Friday evening in July.
