Posted on August 6, 2025 at 12:41 pm | No Comments
HELLO. It’s Wednesday again, and I’m in no mood. That will not keep me from writing this weekly post where I list imminent Boston-area shows I will likely (or you should) attend, along with just-announced events that I/you might be interested in. I’m away again this weekend (American Analog Set-bound!), so I’ll miss the local goings-on, but you should still get out and see the things I can’t. Especially because… it’s Somergloom Festival time!
