blahblahblah, friday night.

Open mic at Gilda's in Royal Oak around 7pm to about 9pm. It's a pretty cool thing. Gilda's is on Rochester Rd, just north of 13 mile.

Also, Magic Shop at LJ's.

Darling Imperial at Jacoby's.

Chris Bathgate, Matt Jones, and Greg McIntosh at the Elbow Room.

They Never Sleep will be at The Painted Lady if you are into that sort of thing.

If you like Tom Waits, go to Vernor's at the Crofoot. Some people are "interpretting" his music or something. No, Scarlett Johansen is not scheduled to make an appearance. If I didn't already have plans, I would be chain smoking right now so I could join in on the Tom Waits Interpretative Music Party.

I will be in Ann Arbor after going to Gilda's to see this lady, tearing it up on the dance floor. My friend coined a new term to describe Suburban Sprawl bands (and their friends' bands): Friendcore. Think about it. It totally makes sense. It might not be a new term. Whatever. I don't care. Hugs for everyone!!!11!
