With this first post of 2012, we’re operating on a new platform that hopefully will be easier to use and less wonky. New shows have been added to the SHOWcal, which is now navigable just by clicking the SHOWcal link in the menu above. We are now fully on Google Calendars instead of the old Google-Apple hybrid, so this should be more stable and universal. Anyway, enough about all that shit, here’s what’s good and on tap for the coming week:
