My hope for 2011 is to average a concert a week, and end up seeing something between 200 to 250 sets. I know that sounds like a lot but I think I hit 150 to 200 sets in 2010.
So far, well the rock and roll circus is good for 5 sets and if I add no more to January than what I have booked I am looking at 11 sets. So that brings me to 132 so who knows.
Why so many?
because I spend my life writing about music and I want to be certain I have, whether written well or poorly, an INFORMED opnion. If all I did was write about music? I would double up to two a week minimum.
