This has and will bean incredibly heavy (for me) and diverse concert season for me. Especially at my age.

I am up to 8 different acts (not including openers) this summer I have seen or will have tix to see before Labor Day:

Sheryl Crow in Central Park
Billy Joel in Va Beach
PJ at MSG
Bruce Springsteen at Giants Stadium
311 PNC
EV in NYC
The Jonas Brothers (Don't Laugh) at MSG
Nine Inch Nails at the IZOD

I am sure those of you who went to Bonnaroo or other Festivals will blow this away.

    I NEED to see Shellac.

    I e-mailed Bob Weston a while back to ask if they were going to play round my way any time soon. He said no :(
