The Week In Shows: 10/28-11/3

I'm feeling industrious, y'all. An impossibly beautiful Saturday afternoon 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!

It's the most wonderful week of the year, my friends. Halloweek! Besides plotting last minute costume stuff, there's quite a few shows worth attending during this wonderful week. You just might see me out and about (with or without Little Red Riding Hood costume) at the starred shows. Happy Halloween, y'all!
