The Week In Shows: 10/16-10/20

Monday Wednesday morning after being on the road for a few days 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've been out of town for the past little while here, hence the abbreviated week you see before you. You might not see me out and about this week, friends, as I'll be recovering, but there's some interesting events happening, and I expect you to check things out for me. Though, it's entirely possible I'll make it out to the starred happenings...
