About Me

I decided that i would make a list of all the gigs ive seen in 08, and see how long the list will be at the end of the year. Ive left out DJ sets. They take up too much space and arn't considered as live acts. January was quiet month for shows as i had lots of deadlines covering the entire month, but loaaads coming up. Sad, but fun. Soooooo....
