    I met Azwan. Then I saw him play. Then I had an interview at The U-Mass radio station about my page here, and Conduit (Azwan's band) happened to be playing in studio that day.
    THEN I saw Azwan play solo at The Bishop's Open Mic night with Lord Russ. He was amazing! I couldn't wait to see him again. I told people this. And people then told me that he made a movie. A MOVIE! So I asked Azwan how to acquire this "movie". He sent me one and HOLY SHIT it was great.

    I immediately became inspired to put on my second ~Local Media~ show/media presentation with this film as the highlight and main attraction of the evening. Azwan said, "Cool". He has screened this movie only once before and YOU are about to experience the brilliance and hilarity for yourselves July 25th at The Eleven's.

    Join us and eat free f-ing popcorn! It's in a BAR. Order BEERS and DRINKS while you watch the movie. What more could this world offer? I'll tell you.

    4 local bands and a special appearance from "Young Wee". Young Wee is the character in the movie who's life it is about, (being a thug in the "Herst", and is the artist who dominates the soundtrack to Azwan's movie, "Off Da Chain".

    THIS is going to be fun, funny, dance..able, drunken, and ~Local Media~ and Azwan's first collaboration in Northampton. BE THERE! 8PM for the movie, and 10PM BANDS!
