Okay, I have already talked about some of the shows going on this weekend. There certainly is a lot to choose from.

Each year in Korea, as the year winds down and temperatures drop, the concert scene heats up. And this year is no exception. It seems like just about every performer in the land is having a big Christmas concert or New York concert or something. Lee Hyolee is having her ...

Is it Saturday already? Drat. I was intending on writing my semi-regular "If You See Just One Show This Weekend" post, and suggest people go to the Windy City show. (And make a nice mention of the Oriental Funk Stew show). Sadly though, the Windy City show was Friday night, ...
