2011
Originally posted at the beginning of the year - "No way I top 2010," and I didn't. Still haven't counted but fell short about 30 shows. Metalhead Andrew and probably a lot of people who live DTLA/Echo Park/Silver Lake saw more than me. Surprised it ended up being so many as I was really lazy this year, more often when given the choice, I would just stay home. Regardless of what shows I would plan on seeing, usually anything free or real close would automatically be the priority. Biggest disappointments - missing Help! with special guest vocalist David Yow sometime this spring. Sean Wheeler & Zander Schloss doing at least a dozen 2 set shows downtown over the summer and fall but being way too tired from rockin' all weekend that I am usually out by 9 or 10 on Sundays. Just couldn't force myself to do it too many times. Black Flamingo, Machine Fang and Kill Pills are my favorite bands of 2011! Best show? All 4 days of Culture Collide with CS
