LA Concert Blast - March 2009

Concerts in LA for the month of March. The first week is thorough, the rest is less thorough due to time constraints and the likely possibility that I will do other updates and that some shows will change.

If it's bold, I'm either going to the show, considering going to the show or have seen the artist and am recommending them.
