The Road Dogs have been graciously invited by our old friend Tom Gillam (in town from Austin, TX) to do an opening set on Tuesday 12/30 at Philly's newest music hot spot -- THE BLINKIN LINCOLN in Roxborough.
Keep in mind, seating is limited (75 people) at this very intimate venue and purchasing tickets in advance is strongly recommended... the sound is much better inside than out on Conarroe Street!
The Blinkin Lincoln (adjacent to Coyle's Pub) 6080 Ridge Avenue Philadelphia, PA 19128
Music Starts at 9:00 PM $5 in advance: http://www. blinkinlincoln. com Or in person, at Coyles front bar -- 21+ only.

I miss jamming with all of you- I have a few photos on my page that I hope you saw. I'm coming back in May, so can we please jam again? It would mean the world to me.
I miss all of you so very much.I miss the times we went out and I got to listen to you guys play. I hope you guys know how amazing I think the band is. I love you all and miss you.
The Gillam video is up on my page. Thanks, E, for adding your model quality looks to it. But, it seems the chocolate pitbull is Gillam's love interest afterall is said and done.
