There's CalProg in Whittier, CA every summer. Also, BajaProg is not all that far for you, 2 hours drive from San Diego. I realize San Jose is quite a way up the coast from SD (or LA for CalProg) but you do have very reasonably priced commuter flights in CA. Fly to SAN (or LAX for Calprog) and rent a car. If you do Baja Prog, it's a really nice drive from SD to Mexicali, BC.

Great! Good points. Thanks for the info!

I've also been to Sunnyvale to The Quarter Note to see a couple of bands there (Headshear, Fractal, Hazerfan) several times. The Great American Music Hall in SF has some good shows. We had a mini Moonie get-together for the Los Trios Marillios show and Blackfield is playing there in March. Porcupine Tree played in SF in October and that same week, we went to Roger Waters show at the Shoreline in Mountain View.

So, the shows are out there!

Yes, I'm sorry to have missed Waters. Hadn't heard of the Porcupine Tree show! Uhgg! (pulls hair out). But no, I'm actually north of San Jose in Martinez, so I'm within reach of the entire Bay Area. I guess I should look around better. My main thing is just that, when I go to some bands website, it always seems to display tour dates in Bridgeport, Providence, Cambridge, yada yada yada....

That is the only one we have planned at the moment, but I'll try to let you know when I hear of others. Are you familiar with this site? http://www.till.com/BayProg/

I just complain sometimes about having to drive a couple of hours to get down to SF, lol!

Nadina

Cool! These are local bands on this site? First I've seen of it. Thanks!
