A Summer in NYC Concert Schedule

In case you missed it, or you are a strict seasonalist (not a word), it's summer time in NYC. That means that the parks are full, the people are happy, and the air is filled with music. Well maybe that's a little idealistic, but you get the idea, people are excited. And this summer there is reason to be; this summer there are a ton of amazing concerts and shows to go to. So here, I've tried to make your and my lives a little easier by listing a bunch that should be worth while.

Hot damn! My heart is aflutter. This is going to be one epic summer. Be sure to check back for updates, because I am sure that there will be some more shows that pop up, or ones that I missed. If anyone plans to go to any of these shows and needs someone to go with, let me know and I'll probably be there.
