DBT Week in Review - 4/7/08

I'm working on an additional DBT WIR post for Friday that will showcase many of the fine DBT fans who have been risking whiskey soaking of digital circuitry, memory damaging beer slop, and flung sweat smudging the lens of their very fine SLR cameras in order to capture that perfect shot from The Rock Show.

Fans across the U.S. have been snapping some really awesome photos of the band. Stay tune for the highlights.
