The Week in Shows: 11/2-11/8

A gray mid-Sunday afternoon on the first day of November 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!

November has crept up quite quickly this year, and once again we've all fallen backwards out of Daylight Savings Time. Seriously, I am really hating the time change more and more as I get older. But extra hour aside, there's some pretty good shows in town this week. You never know, 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.
