I don't think I went to 5 gigs this year. That's what happens when you become a parent. So right now I have 4:
1. Bruce Springsteen (RDS 2nd Night)
2. Josh Ritter (Whelan's 3rd Night - The Animal Years)
3. Kevin Smith (I know it wasn't music but it was a gig of sorts)
4. Jerry Fish & the Mudbug Club (The Academy)
And I'll be going to David Gray/Regina Spektor next month.

Bruce Springsteen: RDS, Dublin (second night)
