I am too sleepy for commentary this morning, so have the below list of shows which I have deemed to be Awesome.  I’ll be at the Empty Bottle on Thursday to catch Dosh’s show, and hopefully I won’t forget about the tickets I have to the Old Town School of Folk Music on Sunday, for Eliza Gilkyson and Carrie Newcomer.  Folktastic!
