When I was young, I went to every single show that came through my hometown.

Moving to Chicago for college, I went as often as there were bands I recognized , about three times a month.

Once I became a parent that shot downhill fast, to something like once every two months. I began to work nights and could almost never go. I'm back to a first shift schedule now and excited to start hitting the scene again, even if I'm too fat for the moshpit these days.
