The Week In Shows: 10/3-10/9

The first Saturday of the best month of the year 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!

It's finally October. The month of true fall and, of course, Halloween. I just can't get enough. The shows will be insanely awesome all month, y'all, so gird your loins and get ready. So here we go, a look at some recommended shows for the coming week. And if you happen to see an asterisk by a show, I'll be there. You should too.

And as an aside, if you've got a show coming up you'd like me to consider including in my weekly calendar, just shoot me an email with "Calendar" somewhere in the subject line. Thanks y'all!
