"If you're looking for me, I'll be at the show..."

This is a complete list of every concert I've ever been to in my lifetime. I tried to make this as detailed and accurate as I could, and it was fun for me to take a little stroll down Memory Lane and re-visit some of these experiences! Doing this has inspired me to work on a sister list of all the plays and musicals I've ever been to, so we'll see if I'm as successful there ;-)

Upcoming Shows:

wee disclaimer: All venue/band names listed here are as they were on the date of that particular show. So, for example, I know that the Delta Center is no longer named the Delta Center, but any show I saw there while it was still the Delta Center will be listed as such. Likewise, I refer to Panic At The Disco as Panic! At The Disco because both times I saw them, they hadn't yet dropped the exclamation point from their name. Any future shows I see will be listed sans exclamation point, etc.

Ahhh, so many shows that we went to together. The first time we met, my God! And all the shows that we're going to be going to very soon. I'm so excited. Which you probably already know.

I love that THREE of those you attended with me. Holler at some Good Charlotte, Morrissey and Damien Rice. I still have pictures from that GC show. Oh man, those were the DAYS.
