Concert Shirt/Poster Of The Day Jan.25th (Mighty Mighty Bosstones/Gadjits)

Today's concert shirt is actually a hoodie I bought at the Mighty Mighty Bosstones and The Gadjits double bill my buddy Psycho and I went to at the Golden Garter in Edmonton in 2000. I had won these tickets through Vue Magazine, a weekly entertainment mag for Edmonton.

This was a great double bill of amped up ska music at a cool venue. It was my first time seeing The Gadjits in concert, and I have to say I really enjoyed their set. Good times!!!
