Rocktober begins this week on the slow side but there’s no going wrong even on the slow days. I myself am gearing up for trip one of two this month. I don’t know why my travel is always back to back like this. Why do I do this to myself? I’m also sad to be missing out on some of the shows this month but maybe you’ll catch me at WWWY this weekend?
