Yeah, it’s about that time. Time when the remaining members of the free world anxiously count down the minutes until the end of the workday and the start of the weekend. Meanwhile, we’re still researching concert data, plugging in dates, investigating venues and checking out support acts. And we’ll be doing it until our corporate masters pull our keyboards out of our cold, dead hands. Or until 5 pm. Whichever comes first.

Anyway …
