The Week in Shows: 10/26-11/1

A late night wallowing in some pretty serious angst about no longer being by the North Carolina seashore seems 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, shall we? Hot diggity!

So, the bad thing about this week is that it's the first week after a great vacation, and that's never easy. But the good thing is that it's Hallow-week, which is pretty dang awesome. Some pretty good shows are in town this week, too, and you might just run into yours truly at any show with an asterisk. As always, I'll be picking one extra special show as my super extra recommended show of the week, which you should probably go to if at all possible. So here we go, a look at some recommended shows for the coming week.
