4/20 - Rogue Wave
4/23 - Enon

And of course, i will be at the RFT 2008 Music Award Showcase on June 1.
I’m far too poor to be going to all of the shows that I want to otherwise I’d be be going to at least the Kids in the Hall, Raconteurs w/ Fiery Furnaces, Iron and Wine & Radiohead. But I will be at the New Pornographers and the Destroyer concert.
