Yup. It was supposed to be closed on New Year's Eve. Not sure what happened... But, yes, it has sold, or that is the last I heard. It SUCKS! It is a great place!!
Looks like we're good to go for the 12th. Let's see if we can make this show bigger than the last one. Sweet pickin' Friday night. I'm not sure we've ever had that lively of a crowd in Omaha before. I'm pretty sure it's safe to say that good times were had by all.
Thanks for the add, It was nice talking to Dan today. Love your sound! We will be talking more for sure, will want you guys at one of our shows! Big Ben
