Gigs

One of my major hobbies is visiting concerts and festivals (almost exclusively metal).
I don't know how far I'd travel to see the bands I want to see, because unfortunately money is usually a limiting factor. That being said, I visit a fair number of events. I have a slight obsession with statistics, so I started keeping accurate records since November 2007; here goes.
