Showlist for May 8, 2009

Hey all-

Well another week has come and gone. This week seemed a tad on the rainy side. Somehow we ended up with Seattle's weather pattern.

Anyway, a bunch of new shows. Creepin into June on this week's list. Go see stuff. The price of gas has gotten low enough that bands can your again. Let's make 'em feel welcome.

Also, one little house keeping note: I have gotten a few submissions of late that are not all ages shows. That is one rule I have to stick to. All Ages only. No 21+ or 18+. People should feel free to add shows in the comments section if they want, or if it's a last minute show. Just has to be all ages.

Anyway, I need sleep. So, I'm gonna go get me some.

Artomatic is coming....can you smell it?

later,
pete
