Showlist for May 15, 2009

Hey All-

Quick hit this week. Bunches of new shows as the spring/summer tour season is heating up. Fort Reno is just around the corner.

Some may have noticed that I have not posted too many shows from Sonar/Talking head of late. Well, they redid their website recently, and it makes it a big pain in the ass to get the shows on the list. So, I'm not hatin', but I got to be practical. As always, feel free to forward them to me, and I will add the shows that way.

Anyway, see you next week.

later,
pete
