jazz club go bye bye, and we have shows!

so the jazz club is going out of business at the end of april unless the remaining owner somehow gets her shit together, which is highly unlikely. i could seriously write a book about the four years i've been here and watched this place been so mismanaged and poorly run. it's really astonishing to see two people fuck up a cash cow and steal so fragrantly from their own business. it's totally retarded and they deserve to lose it. unfortunately for me, i'll be out the extra $600-700 a month i make by still working at the dump part time. oh well, i guess i'll manage.

as for shows, we got some coming up! we're playing April 19th in a tiny little town called Point Arena that's 3 hours north of SF. it's at the Oddfellows Lodge there and it has something to do with the town's one hundred year anniversary. tommi's mom and her husband connected us to the people setting it up, so it's gonna be an adventure, that's for sure. there is one other band on the bill as far i know now, and that's about all i know, other than we're gonna be playing sometime after 9pm. unfortunately this is on the same night that Dylan of Raencloud asked us to play a show with them at John Patrick's Pub in Alameda. i have to admit i had little desire to return that dump, but it would have been good practice, and would be cool to see Raencloud with their new lineup and play with them again. anyways, the next show i got scheduled after that is May 29th at MAGNET in the castro. it's some kind of benefit for something called GAWK Pride. apparently Violent Vickie saw the same ad on craigslist, so haha! anyways, we're excited, it's a free all ages thing, so some kids who haven't been able to come out and see us before cuz they were under 21 can come out this time without having to finangle fake IDs. we're hoping to set something up in Santa Cruz and the East Bay soon, so hopefully all this crap will just keep moving along!
