Southern Shelter Birthday Week (?)

2008-04-24T23:45:00.001-04:00

OK, this site is somewhere approaching the vicinity of two years old. I wanted to celebrate by posting some more music than usual this week, ~~I'm attempting to post a show every day (so 5 shows this week instead of 2)~~. This isn't the actual week the site started I'm sure, but I think I have the time this week so we'll just pretend.

Oh and we're counting the Patterson shows even though they were posted Saturday, but they count as 1 show. I actually made it through without messing this up, thanks for reading/listening.
