Here it is, Ladies and Gents-- after long hours of deliberation and careful discernment, I have finally narrowed down my CMJ viewing/listening schedule. It's going to require quite a lot of running about from venue to venue, a lot of hard-earned cash handed over ([rant] not to Ticketweb for the love of God! That bastard of a a website, now a Ticketmaster clone, has been overcharging for "convenience". What used to be a $2 charge at most is now close to $5. Theivery I tell thee! [/rant]) and a lot of sleepless nights. Ows well, sleep is overrated anyways.

So there you have it folks, thats the sweet deal. Let me know if any of y'all happen to be going to any of these. Talking about going to shows is half the fun, the other half is being there of course.
er, i've heard of four of those bands. and i'd recognize about. . .oh, one of them from hearing a tune. i bow down before your musical devotion (and your stamina, and your ambition). have fun!

ooh, no, not a true devotee-- i talk big, and listed down all those playing at where i'll be that night.
I'll most probably skip out on the earlier bands though and be napping post-work, pre-headliner. hehe. it will be fun -- reaally fun! :)
