every concert. ever. ...i think.

lately, in trying to figure out career and other big decisions, i've been thinking a lot about who i am and what i've accomplished in my lifetime. i haven't done a whole lot. i haven't mastered a sport, received straight A's, made an incredible piece of art nor saved anyone's life, but i have been to a lot of concerts. that's an accomplishment right? yes. it is. and to prove that it i've decided to show you in list form.
this list is the result of about a month of brain racking and research, but its most likely still incomplete. i tried to list each line as a different event with the openers first and the headliners last. a lot of the openers have slipped into the recesses of my mind... but that just means they weren't good enough to remember. the list is in no particular order, but kinda in chronological. if you were with me at any of these shows and remember any details feel free to post them and we'll rejoice together in the beautiful memories of good vibes.
i am no athlete, artist, nor hero, but it is safe to say that i am a music lover, and the permanent ringing in my ears proves it.
