PICK OF THE WEEK: The Little Radio Casino Convoy
$50 gets you a complimentary breakfast, luxury coach ride with free booze to Vegas, and a concert with full sets from The Secret Machines, Autolux and Giant Drag. And it’s Vegas so it’s really a free ticket. Just go to the blackjack table and bet $50. If you lose just keep doubling your previous bet until you win. Trust me.
Reminder: check your ATM withdrawal limit beforehand
Reminder #2: after midnight your ATM limit is reset

That Foo Fighters concert is acoustic, I believe, and well worth going to. I just saw them Friday night in Chicago, and they were damn good (so was Frank Black, for that matter).
How could you forget about Jeremy Enigk at the Troubadour? It was as great show!
Have you thoungt about publishing your week in rock as a Google Calendar? People can then subscribe to it for free.
Hey Jimmy–some other folks have suggested the same. If there were an easy way to set up a feed to gcal I’d be all for it.
