The Week In Shows: 11/28-12/4

The Friday afternoon after a somewhat gluttonous and delightful Thanksgiving 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!

Many of you are probably still in a turkey-induced haze, what with all that tryptophan floating around in your system. Between naps and second/third helpings, why not think about what shows you'll go to over the next week? Say farewell to November and hello to December with these suggested shows. Without further ado, I present a look at some of the shows I happen to recommend for the coming week. Things are starting to pick up now that we're past Thanksgiving, and there's a lot of good shows to be had. 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!
