Gig Wrap Up 2005

Happy Chanukah! Belated Merry Xmas! And Boxing Day! And Bank Holiday! Or whatever...

The girls are off to the Tower of London, but I've been there twice so I've elected to skip it and meet them at the British Museum for tea later. I'll prob. post what we've been up to in a bit, but here's my gig list from this past year in alpha order (I have no idea of the dates.) I also only included opening acts that I actually watched. My faves are in order below as well.
