I can safely say that there’s a show every night this week that I want to be at. I’m not going to make any predictions of where I’ll actually show up, though, because that’s just asking for me to spend all week sitting at the computer and playing Plants vs. Zombies.

Let’s hope that this week is better than last, where I had a moment of complete brilliance and proceeded to forget all about the show I was supposed to go to on Saturday night. Sigh. I’ll be at Lincoln Hall on Wednesday (Fanfarlo) and Thursday (The xx), provided that I don’t forget about those shows, […]

Good morning to everyone from snowy Chicago. I got to test out my new winter boots this morning, so I guess I can’t lie to myself anymore; it really is winter now. It’s a pretty small concert list this week, although there are tons and tons of classical and holiday shows going on this week. […]

Another week, another great round of live music. I could see myself at a show every night, if I were, you know, made of money and didn’t have other responsibilities. I will be at the Decemberists show on Thursday, and so have the next few days to decide between that age old dilemma — do I […]
