Sun 17 Jul – A Perfect Circle
Among the most unexpected shows of this year, A Perfect Circle definitely rocked my little universe tonight. I say "unexpected" since they had been on hiatus for so long, and were skeptical they would ever work together as a band again. So when they announced they were coming to our nation's capital with a show, I was kind of ecstatic actually.
