But I was mainly drunk.

Yeah, me too. About 19 at the last count.

I've seen Shellac 15 times (including 3 consecutive days. Thanks ATP)

Stereolab about 7 times.
Sonic Youth 5 times.

Pegboy, Shellac, Sweep The Leg Johnny and Social Distortion....too many times to count. Of course all sorts of other bands, but those are the handful that stick out as seeing them the most. But, I suppose Social Distortion only counts as once, seeing as how It's been the same show for the past fifteen years.

Locally, man, I've seen Sicbay a gazillion times. If all their shows were archived somewhere, I would know better, but I bet it's in the neighborhood of 40 times. Maybe more.

Nationally, U.S. Maple's the only one that I can think of off the top of my head that I've seen a "ton", which only translates to 7 times - one of which featured Thymme Jones of Cheer-Accident on drums.
