Tommy - I played Quadraphenia on an early show...I remember Jim and Teer having a good time - Tommy I was never as enamored with, but it's certainly worth a spin. let's see if we can toss that in sometime in Jan or Feb... great idea!
Nearfest - Considering Discipline is one of my top bands and Matthew P. is an unforgettable performer, you would have to tie my naughty bits to a wolverine to get me to miss it.
And there's always Echolyn, who is guaranteed to give a stellar performance, Progday last time notwithstanding with their Sabbath medley (which I liked but turned some people off).
And Banco, etc.....
