like a candygram from the gods...

...the folks responsible for my two very fave shiny silver discs o' this yr (actually three...one of 'em's a double e.p.) are both performing on a night when my sweetie can make it out to hear 'em (that'd be next friday, december 15th). the non-snazz aspect: they're playing at different venues. the li'l me-thinks are having their no-fooling cd release party at el wreck, where they're playing second. if allah is merciful and fortune smiles, this will allow us to catch reggie rueffer of the hochimen, who's been added to the good show thingy at the black dog, before or after. we live in hope.

also noticed that the underground railroad, featuring evabody's favorite bassplayer, is playing a rare show at the black dog the following night, opening for addnerim and merkin. myself, i plan to go stand there and _count the notes_.

ADDENDUM: further -- blood of the sun, who are seeing lotsa outta town action of late, bring their '70s rawk heaviosity to the wreck room xmas party that sunday, along with honky, whose gtrist i need to thank for covering for my lame ass at fredtoberfest. yeah!
