I’m going out of town this weekend, so I better get this recap up fast. I thought the night was going to be slow, since few people signed up ahead of time and a lot of the regulars (Sarah, Jason, Forest Greens, etc.) weren’t signed up. I ended up having a great time, even though…

We had a cancelled order, so we moved you to better seats.…

Come out tonight to the Tree House open mic. It runs from 8:00PM – 11:00PM. You can sign up in advance here or just come to hang out and drink coffe. Supporting your local coffeehouse is a worthwhile cause. See you there and be sure to bring out or begin working on your Talking Heads…

I’ve been putting off the recap this week, because I can’t find the notes I took. Lately I’ve been jotting down a few things so I don’t forget what people actually did. A lot of good it did me this time. I’m sure I’ll forget someone, so remind me of who I left out. A…
