Live Baby Live – Week of Aug. 14
A day late this week, but when you see the crazy number of new shows recently announced, you’ll understand why. With so much variety, there should be something for everyone coming up in the next month or so. Due to the large number of show listings, there will be no links this week (hey, it takes a LONG time to link up this stuff, my friends).
As always, if there’s something we’ve missed and you’re incredibly excited to tell us, feel free to leave a comment.
