We may bitch about the fact that not every band we want to see comes through Columbus BUT just take a look at the shows that I would go to in May if I had the time/money (a nice blend of national AND local acts). And I left out some big shows that I don't have any interest in seeing (Mike Watt, Steve Malkmus, etc.)
With all these options, if you don't make it out to a show this month, you suck and have no right to complain (making a decision on May 17 is going to be TOUGH).
