means I think it’ll probably sell out (or already is—start looking on craigslist!)

(note: this list is purposefully, not comprehensive. it’s events I think my readers will like or that I’m considering going to. I compile it by reading the full calendars of many SF venues and tour schedules for bands and labels and booking agents that I like. sorry, emailing me asking for your event to be added to this list won’t get it added, unless it’s for a band I like and it’s at a venue that I somehow missed.)

In general, I recommend against going to events at the Warfield or the Design Concourse as they’re extremely bad venues from an audience perspective.
