Do you listen to new bands but feel too old to go to their shows? Or, do you tend to go but feel weird about being the oldest person there?  There are lots of great shows coming to town and there is NO LAW against grayhairs going to live new music. The solution is to go together.  We can strategize ways to stay up beyond our bedtimes!   All members are welcome to suggest any kind of new music event on AH. The "Hipster" label is entirely tongue-in-cheek. We're not all that strict about the "ag …

I know there are others in the area who appreciate fun, quality music from the '80s and '90s.

But it's not everyday that we might by chance meet another fan on the street. So, I'm starting this g …
