Houstonist: H-Town Rock

The upcoming week would be excellent. I generally keep pretty good track of the shows I want to see but you guys catch a few things that I don't. Extending that to Monday through Wednesday would ensure that I don't miss anything just because it's in the first half of the week! Plus there's good stuff on M-W sometimes that doesn't get attended well. A plug here wouldn't hurt. Like Magnolia Electric Co. played a couple weeks back on a Tuesday and kicked all kinds of ass, but the show was sparsely attended. I see no reason why a few extra days would prevent you from making snarky comments. Do two posts, if you have to.

Hot. Damn. It's always good to see people comment on my posts. It makes me feel like I'm doing something almost moderately worthwhile. Ward: I've thought about including the first three days of each "upcoming" week into my schedule, but I haven't made my decision yet, mostly because I don't want to turn things into a mere concert calendar. I like making snarky remarks about what's coming through town. And no, your comment didn't come across as unduly sarcastic. Everyone else: Thanks for your contributions! H-Town Rock was never meant to be an infallible resource. Always feel free to include information on shows that I may have missed that you feel people should be attending in Houston. We're all about supporting all manner of local music!

Sorry, forgot to close the italics tag. Only the word "rock" was supposed to be italicized. Forgive me if that made the post sound unduly sarcastic. Or just made me look stupid...

Any chance of adding Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday to this report in order to see the full week's worth of rock at a glance? Good shows do happen early in the week too, after all.
