The Week In Shows: 9/16-9/22

Lunchtime Monday is as good a time as any to plot ones weekly live music schedule, I think. Let's take a look at what's happening in the greater DC metro this week, with the added bonus of filling you in on what I'll be taking in over the course of the week. Hot diggity!

I'm finally back in town again, and it's good time to be here. There's plenty of great shows to pick and choose from (it's about time). This week definitely looks like one of the best gig-going weeks in quite a while. And remember, you can more than likely find me at any show denoted herewith with double stars.
