Number 2,000

Hey, you know that last post? The one about one of my favorite bands, Roman Candle, coming to town? That was post number 2,000 here on Consuming Louisville. That seems like cause for celebration or something doesn’t it?

Roman Candle at Zanzabar February 19, 2010

Events with tickets that cost $100 are usually a little too expensive for me to write about but this one is benefiting two good causes so I thought I’d make an exception.

The Right Now at The Rud January 16, 2010

I don’t post about too many music shows because Backseat Sandbar does such a great job covering the music scene. However occasionally I just feel compelled so here we are. I got an email from The Right Now that they’ll be playing at The Rud on Saturday evening.
