Live Baby Live – Week of Sept. 25
This fall is shaping up to be a busy one, as everyone and their dog seems to be touring right now. If you haven’t spent all of your OSAP money yet, might want to stash away a few pennies for some concert tix. However, if you’ve already blown your student loan on cheap beer and (even cheaper) Ikea furniture, take comfort in the fact that you can visit your local public library to catch a few live shows this November — free! I can’t think of a better excuse to go “study” at the library, can you?
As always, if we missed any good shows happening in this city this week, let us know in the comments.
