YOU ARE SOME EPIC TOMFOOLERY, OH WEEKEND OF OURS! Though even at this very moment we are still sitting pretty in the Mile High City, in mere hours the Skyline Network Most Extreme Party Call Me The Gods Must Be Crazy Jet Air Liner will take flight and pilot our tired feeted but strong hearted staff home. It is likely that we will jump out of the plane into fire and crash through the roof of The Mink to catch the Papermoons / Sour Notes / B. / other guy show. Please wear helmets if you attend. BUT THERE IS MORE TO DO THAN JUST THAT! COMEWIT IT NOW!

FRIDAY
Papermoons, Sour Notes, B., Phillip Foshee @ The Mink
If we talked about this show any more, we would start to sound like GUITARS and their recent hands_up first show Zergling Rush promotion style. Jokes.

Rene Cruz Art Opening @ Domy
In addition to his Whips HOOTENANNY II: TWOTENANNY poster and cover work for records like the Sour Notes The Fruit of the Meat and Bring Back the Guns’ Dry Futures, turns out Rene does some non-music scene stuff as well. Duh. His latest exhibition, Paradise/Gravedigger, is about two different men/beings both of which are “responsible for Destroying Houston.” You read it here first. Rene Cruz is killing the scene.

Bob Log, Scott Biram, Posessed by Rick James @ Rudyards
We dunno who Bob Log is, but apparently people are stoked that he is going to be in town. Next time we will do more research so we can make a better joke about people with Canadian names.
