I have a written record of every show, the date, venue, who I went with, if I have them handy setlists, etc. It really helps to go through it periodically because I'm realizing I'm completely starting to forget some stuff.

I just keep a note in my "Notes" app on the iPhone of the show number, band(s), and venue.

What is your deal? Why are you so obsessed with me and what I post?

Don't you have a "real Life" to go concern yourself with?
