Dosh will sell out in 2011, and other resolutions from local musicians
92 percent of all New Year’s resolutions are broken by the end of January. We totally just made that number up, but you get the idea: Sticking to your goals, like finding credible statistics, is hard. A great motivator is to share that resolution with people who will hold you accountable. So, as a way of showing our gratitude for the bands playing our anniversary party on Friday, Jan. 7 at First Avenue, we’re helping them keep their resolutions by making them a matter of public record. Find out what everyone’s accomplished during this first crucial week by asking them personally at the show.
