this weekend and the next

because my sweetie 'n' i need some downtime, i'm gonna miss blood of the sun at the li'l wreck room tonight, but i'm looking forward to playing a stoogeaphilia show with them at fredtoberfest on october 14th.

other stuff that's coming up:

bertha coolidge is gettin' the band back together at the black dog sunday night, october 1st. while you're there, buy a "free shaggy" t-shirt to support the shagmeister, who's gonna be a temporary resident of the pokey in parker county for a few weeks.

next friday, october 6th, pussyhouse propaganda art criminals ray liberio and calvin abucejo will be among the artists exhibiting at studio 817's second annual fall art showcase. sleeplab will be supplying music and chill vibes. and my sweetie's big sis will be here from illinois!

the following night, we're gonna take betsy to the opening night of fredtoberfest to hear the electric mountain rotten apple gang, cowboys & indians, jasper stone, and at least part of the dewayn brothers' set. after that, tho, we'll have to hotfoot it over to the wreck, where goodwin will be holding forth after what feels like an eternity. bet they don't have a music scene this diverse in the quad cities.
