I was kinda hoping you could play with us. I couldn't reach Shawn. If you're up for playing a late set after us, that would be wicked. If not, just be sure to catch the party. You guys rock! Cheers.
You don't want to miss this one.....because you're supposed to play that night. We're thinking about having a raffle. Anything you want to give away? Maybe a sweat stained shirt signed by the Mechanical Seals? So far the best is a russian tabloid magazine.
