Spring is nearly here, with Summer not far behind and that means, among other things, touring season for a wide variety of excellent musical acts. I've developed a pretty strange and eclectic taste in music from a wide variety of areas over the years. I love opening acts, for some reason, and almost always end up seeing them again in other venues. I listen to bands that friends and random authors whose books I read listen to. I stumble across bands on the street or have interest in an album bubble up into my brain from some sort of collective musical unconscious.
Happily not all of the bands I like play places like the Garden. That said, here's a brief and chronological list of current shows I plan to or would like to go and see over the next few months. If you're interested in seeing any of these with me (Proctor, this means you!) post something here, send me an email or pick up the phone and we can work it out.
| Date | Locale | Act |
| 3/28 | New York City | Rainer Maria |
| 4/03 | New York City | Bishop Allen |
| 4/04 | Hoboken, NJ | Mates of State |
| 5/01 | New York City | Erin McKeown |
| 5/15 | New York City | Ani DiFranco |
| 6/08 | New York City | One Ring Zero |
| 7/11 | Ringwood, NJ | Dar Williams |
| 7/18 | King of Prussia, PA | Dar Williams |
| 9/18 | Boston, MA | Dar Williams |
Obviously I'll expand the list as time passes. If anyone knows of a good show coming up, let me know.
Also, two of Dar Williams' shows on here are particularly worth noting. The first is on 7/11, which is my birthday. How damn cool is that? I get to see a Dar show on my birthday! The second is 9/18, which is Rob's wedding. All I can say is that it's a damn good thing Rob's planning for a morning wedding...

Pity you can't come up for any of the shows, Gus, but I do understand. Glad you're still alive and well, though. I'll try to get some more "commentable" stuff up soon.

If I can't go dance on the Saturday night of Rob and Katie's wedding, then you can't go see Dar. Deal with it. Don't make me open up a can of Best Man Whoop-ass on you.
And if that's not convincing, remember that I have 2 really, really, really strong lackeys at my disposal.

Hhm. Funny, Marc. According to Rob's schedule the reception ends at 5.
I'm spending 4 hours at an after party in a loud and crowded arcade after spending my entire day to that point in a suit likely flying across the country to be there to begin with? I think not.
I see Dar. End of story.

Ha! You and your so-called logic. It is because you're likely to be flying across the country to attend this event that you're not going to see Dar.

Can't make you listen, Marc. *shrugs* Doesn't change the situation any, though.
I see Dar. End of story.
