For the records

Concerts I went to in 2003

I was thinking of the concerts I went to this year and I didn't realize how many I actually had gone to. There were several concerts that I'm really disappointed that I didn't see(Mojave 3, Spiritualized, Metric, Belle and Sebastian, Broken Social Scene).
