This weekend, 10/28-10/30:

Okay, so... we're looking at very few significant music options for this weekend, compared to other weekends.  Or maybe I'm just getting pickier.  At any rate, it's Halloween weekend, and I'm sure you know exactly what you're doing.  If I dig deep and come up with more to add to this over the weekend, I will.

Saturday:

• Halloween show at The Wedge with The Collingwood. (The Wedge is just outside of Newark on New London Rd). 21+, 9pm, $5.
• (There are other Halloween shows in the area - you can find them recommended in the News Journal - but I cannot personally endorse the bands involved.  See the post after this one for one of the reasons why).
• Long, long-time Philly prog band Asteroid No. 4 (2nd of 3) at Johnny Brenda's. 21+, 9pm, $10.
• Okay, yes, there is a Halloween Loop in Wilmington tonight.  There.  I mentioned it.  I have acknowledged that while I have long since stopped enjoying the Loops, other people might not be so old and jaded and too cool for school, and might actually have a good time there.  Have at.  Don't let the bus drivers trick you into tipping them for letting you off the bus.
