What a week of music we had in the Bay Area last week!! We had Phish and the "after shows" every where! And then we all made it into a three day weekend with Jerry Day @ The Giants?! Fun 11 innings! (tho still bummed that someone stole my bobblehead) But no rest for the die hard music fans!! So here are some things to make note of this week as well as in the months to come!!
