    Did anybody who writes for the website go to the M. Ward show at the Pabst on Friday? If so, we’d love to hear a little blurb on what you thought about it!

    I definitely went. It was awesome. His encore cover of “Roll Over Beethoven” was tops. I work at the Pabst so I tend to not review those shows.
