As usual, there’s a lot to get into this week. Staring down the barrel of the end of the year can sometimes get scary, if not downright nostalgic. Take some serious trips down memory lane and witness the closing out of the Centro-Matic dynasty as they play their final three shows at Dan’s Silver Leaf (plus secrets). There’s also a ”throwback” lineup performance by Brave Combo. Let’s tag those pictures with #WDDI and we’ll feature you in our infamous What We Did post on Monday.
