Psyd I would so be there if it weren’t Labor Day Weekend. Presently, I’m turning down this and two other really tempting things (high school reunion and a state rapier fencing championship, that I tied for second last year, so…) for a twenty five year retrospective of the Tucson music scene, seeing some friends that I haven’t seen in a decade or more, and mixing bands that I haven’t worked with for years. Still, I find myself trying to figure out how to schedule things so I can afford to get up for the comp and still make my gigs in Tucson! If you live in Phoenix and don’t make this, I will point and laugh unmercifully! 0 Reply August 9, 2010
Brian Clemens It’s going to be great. If I haven’t already, I’ll be coming by your shop to drum up support/recruitment. If you need practice I suggest you compete next weekend at the Echo coffee throwdown. 0 Reply August 12, 2010
