Shows I Went To: 2011
So, one of my best concert buds posted her list the other day and it inspired me to post my own. (With just under double the shows I went to this year, her list can be drooled over here).
Seriously guys, if you don’t listen to anything else I ever say/post, listen to this:
go
see
live
music.
It doesn’t matter if you go to a show once a month or once a week. Just go; you won’t regret it.
