The year is winding down and I feel like I should be doing some kind of grand list of the best of 2011 but I cannot think of anything to really put together. Besides, there are way too many lists out there as it is. I prefer to look ahead to stuff that is coming up or maybe a bucket list for 2012 which would include concerts by Tommy Roe, Marillion, Chubby Checker and the Rochester International Jazz Fest line up. I also hope to go to Syracuse to catch a home game by the Syracuse Orangemen and a trip to Toronto for the Mayan exhibit at ROM and the Otherworldly exhibit at the TIFF. I am sure that the year will have many exciting opportunities and I hope I am able to cash in on them. Until then, I will just wish everyone a Happy New Year and here are a few concert options for the week.
Tuesday (12/27) - Fireworks @ Small's
Wednesday (12/28) - Sights @ Magic Stick
Thursday (12/29) - Suicide Machines w/ Mustard Plug and Flatfoot 56 @ Majestic Theatre, Prussia @ Woodruff's (Ypsilanti)
