    I tried something new this year since I broke up with my girlfriend and I was tired of always saving money while she spent and spent and spent. So I decided to do this thing called "Year Of the Tour" It had 3 criteria 1.) My goal was 100 shows in calendar year 2008. 2.) I had to have 50 shows where I have never seen the band live before. 3.) If someone asked me to go to a show, and I was available, I booked it. I also know people in the music industry to get me into free shows often so I didnt have to pay for all of these. Here is the list so far in no particualr order:

    Bonnaroo (4 Days)
    Rock on the Range (2 Days)
    Bumbershoot (3 days)
    Foo Fighters/Serj/Against Me
    Spoon/ The Walkmen/ White Rabbit
    Nine Inch Nails
    Black Rebel Motorcycle Club/ The Duke Spirit
    AC/DC with The Answer
    Coldplay/ Sleepercar
    Staind/ State Of Shock
    Mudvayne
    Chevelle/ Ashes of Soma/ God and Julie
    Chevelle/ Finger 11/ God and Julie
    Stone Temple Pilots/ Ashes Divide
    Stone Temple Pilots/ Juliet and the Licks
    Chris Cornell
    Girl Talk
    Motley Crue - Cruefest Buckcherry/ Papa Roach
    3 Doors Down/ Staind/ Finger 11
    Henry Rollins
    Van's Warped Tour
    Drowning Pool
    Armchair Cynics
    Mobile
    Bayside/ The Matches/ Valencia
    Oasis/ Ryan Adams and the Cardinals
    Candlebox
    Panic at the Disco
    Kid Rock

    I will have to finish the list later since I am at work and can't remember them all
