Entirely too much turkey! But drinking champagne with the parents and then, later, elsewhere, drinking cheap whiskey with the friends is always a nice way to spend a holiday. Hope everyone's Thanksgiving was a good one. There is much to be grateful for.

Such as these new and upcoming shows!

Beatles Tribute
Friday, November 23 : : that's today!
Revolver

Featuring two Beatles covers each by:

Dolly Rocker | Blame Spree | Faller | Juan Montoya (of Panda Bite) | Plutonium Pie | Future Ex | Justin Howell of Mandala | Broadview | Humbert | Sixo | The Stop Motion

Also showcasing Beatles-inspired artwork by local arteestes. For additional information, e-mail translucentprod@yahoo.com, or call 305.382.9109.

[ P.S. On one of my recent Internet forays, I discovered that Justin Howell -- listed above, of the band Mandala -- actually played music with Felix Pastorius, son of the legendary, late guitarist Jaco Pastorius. Wow. To say the least. ]
