Timely thread... I'm in Bay Area the Nov 1st - 6th for work. Both Amoeba
stores and Aquarius are always my first stops, but is there a good site for
shows? Something like The List, which I was very happy to see was still
around after having not used to for almost 20 years, but hopefully with
100% more electronic stuff? Only thing I'm doing so far is The Ex and Ken
Vandermark, which just sounds too good too miss.
