Yes! Thursday the 12th. I'll send you a postcard (assuming they're ready before long!) BTW, my answer to your poll had to go as "other" because the thing I am truly most afraid of is enslavement. Most likely by an alien invasion force, but also by governments, the Red Army, etc.
This is going to be one show you will NOT want to miss!!!
We are so excited to be opening for the awesome, amazing band, DeVotchKa!! So excited that we are driving back home (in the middle of our Spring Break Tour) and will be leaving directly after the show (sometime around midnight) to drive ALL night back down to play a show in Austin the very next day. Talk about hardcore! This is how much we love them and you will too if you come to this show! A very talented fiddle player- Tom Shadonix- will be sitting in on the show with us!!
Tix's are 20 dollars but WELL worth it! Buy them soon for they are sure to sell out!
