Hey I just wanted to make sure you know that 305 South has been shut down by the city of Durham (not enough bathrooms), so we've had to cancel our show today (Friday), June 22nd. But fear not, we have a few more on the way: -Friday June 29th @ Vespa -Thursday July 5th @ Blue Bayou -Monday July 16th @ The Cat's Cradle -Thursday July 19th @ The Cave
Sorry if this cancellation caused any inconvenience. Hope to see you soon.
Happy Birthday and many returns. I hope it was a happy one. I will leave you with the wisdom of Elwood P. Dowd…
Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, "In this world, Elwood, you must be" - she always called me Elwood - "In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant." Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me.
