Shows
I'm making another post for upcoming shows in DC - or that I hope to attend elsewhere mostly b/c I like having it all written down in one place instead of checking pollstar AND last.fm AND venue websites. I suppose it's a good thing that it doesn't look quite as saliva-inducing as Atlanta/Athens had been as I will be working nights most likely and can't get but so many off. And as before - I don't expect I'll make it to a lot of these (and I mean it this time) - but I just like knowing about them.
Entry mostly for the benefit of myself and Mark - but Pam and Nate - you may be interested as well.
