Hello, there. We'd like to invite you to a special 2 night event at 5 Points Pub on July 11 and 12. It'll be Josh Roberts and the Hinges, Scott Baston and the News Architects, and Woodwork Roadshow both nights. One night tickets are $10, shows start at 9, but if you buy a ticket for both nights for $15 you get a free booze and food party at 8 each night. Good deal, eh? We're excited and we hope to see you there.
And furthermore, do you know what I just realized? You know you've arrived when you play at the same venues that we went to go see Hootie at just 17 short years ago. Complete with X's on hands that may or may not be easy to wash off. That was the fun stuff.
I thought you'd want to know that Dave & my tix have been purchased for the farm on friday. Which means we'll probably be there, and we will likely be expecting baby chicks, a sheep-shearing exhibit, and the chance to slop some pigs. If these things are not available at said farm, we're leaving.
