The beginning of this week is fairly light on shows so I decided to take the easy way out and combine Sunday's and Monday's run down it to one amazing little post. Well not that amazing, but there is a great event tonight in DC at the Red and the Black with the Visitations, The Pet Parade, and Rifle Coil. You might just want to stay overnight in DC because that's the place for tomorrow's great show which happens to also be at the Red and the Black . Go back and find that spot you had [...]

I thought today, for no other reason other than beacuse I wanted to, I'd throw out a song by a local band. For those who don't know, which is probably 99% of our readership, I recently moved from a very rural area to a medium-sized city.
