Mandatory Attendance

It seems as though the holiday season got the best of us. We had a few weeks to relax and then the world seemed to start rotating faster than ever before with one of us here starting a new job and the other getting a butt load of assignments dropped on his head during the first week of classes. Fortunately, some of our favorite bands have decided to make our lives better by starting the New Year off right and booking dates in our fair city. So for all of you that need a reason to get off the couch, here is our New Years installment of the mandatory attendance (and yes that says Bright Eyes at the El Rey).
