Come now, Powderdry, lay out some info, dates, bands, etc.
I'm not American so I have no idea what you're talking about but I'd love to see some data when I open a new thread.
There are a few on there I'd like to see, but you have to brave TONS of people, TONS of time, and TONS of bands you have to sit through to get a good concert experience.
I'd go see (if i was going):
Icon for Hire
Mayday Parade
For Today
Protomen
MC Chris
Anberlin
Devil Wears Prada
