Concert Listings Roundup #323

You can read more about why I'm doing listings here. Long story short: This curated and decidedly non-comprehensive list contains nothin' but shows that I am going to/would go to if I had more time.

I think I said what needs to be said over at my preview post, so just click on through and review the situation over there. Two things to reinforce, though:

• First, do make a point of coming out for the panel discussions of Saturday and Sunday; and,
• definitely do remember to enter my contest for tickets to Sunday's show if you haven't already!
