Concerts Are The Spice Of Life

Saturday night I picked up the daily planner we use to request days off from work at the resturant where I wait tables.  Looking for my blackberry calendar I made notes of the days I would need off in the upcoming months for various concerts.  Aside from the obviously sweet idea of not working on these days, I found myself in a good mood thinking of all the live music I'd be enjoying soon.

Concerts really are the spice of life.  But due to the economy everything from 80's great Morrissey to the Miami music festival Langerado has seen cancelations due to slow ticket sales.  Buying CDs and MP3s supports the record labels, going to concerts supports the artists.  So in case anyone else in Orlando wants to show their support I've compiled a list of upcoming shows.
