It’s Thanksgiving week which is low on shows but high on gratitude for all the opportunities to see favorite bands over the last week or so (Nico Vega, Mondo Cozmo, The Wrecks – I’m looking at you!).  This year in particular, I’m also so incredibly grateful for all of the venues and venue staff that have taken care of me.
