Shows I Attended In 2022

 Started slow (thanks Covid) and ended slow but damn, what a year. Never thought I would get to see Hanoi Rocks, the trip to Finland possibly the highlight of my entire life. Major changes from the pre-Covid times like I just can't stand for hours by myself in a bar for a 32 minute set anymore. Even the few I went to I almost immediately regretted it.
