The band tally continues! 2012 was a pretty sweet year, with new skills (got my black belt in crowdsurfer management) and new bands (you might recall I've mentioned this little local band LUTHER a time or two) and even a Special Guest Appearance by perennial best band MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE.

Best year for going to shows since the legendary 2008 run! And more in store for me in the future, too -- since there are some local venues I haven't checked out yet, and of course, no doubt, more trips down to Asbury (and maybe even some to Philly, too).
I work, I write, and I go to shows. What else is there? *BIGGRIN*
