here it is. the full list of shows I attended this year - 48 total.
some thoughts:
* Nate is a pretty fantastic person to see shows with.
* It was the second year in a row that the first show of the year was Jesse Morris, feels kind of crazy that it can’t happen again.
* I’ve been saying that maybe I’ll try to ease back a bit on seeing shows next year… but… well, we’ll see.
* Hugs to Lafe for helping to get this list so long.
* Fingers crossed for the following artists/bands to make an appearance in SF next year: Cheap Girls, Sidekicks, Arliss Nancy, Jeff Rowe, Two Cow Garage, Restorations, Felice Brothers, Kasey Anderson, and Fences
