this week(end)

I've been without the Interweb at home so this is going to be a brief one. Couple things tonight, t hen CD Central on Monday....after Tuesday's show, Lex seems to be taking a breather before gearing up for another series of don't miss shows, starting in June.

Rest up, go camping or something this weekend, it's gonna be a long and gorgeous one.

By the way, I'll be posting pics soon from Tuesday's fabulous Black Moth Super Rainbow show with Tiny Fights (sadly, I got there at 10 and missed Bedtime). In the meantime, Matt Jordan has some great ones on You Ain't No Picasso, check 'em!

Thurs., 5/21:

• The Big Maracas will be playing at Thursday Night Live until 7:30 or so. Cheapside Park, FREE, and p.s. if you ride your bike you'll get a free drink ticket.
• North of Center is presenting a series of discussions on various prison-related issues. North of Center is the new northside-based magazine that will come out every two weeks - first issue should be available now, though I have yet to see it. Tonight, the prison discussion will be led by Jonathan Hampton, who wrote his master's thesis on Holler to the Hood, a radio program based out of Appalshop in Eastern Ky connecting prisoners to their loved ones through the use of grassroots media.
• DJ NIGHTS at Sidecar - Robert Beatty and Brian Ronk will be spinning the jamz tonight. Should be the shizzle.
  

Mon., 5/25:

• Memorial Day Cook-out at CD Central. This year's band line-up: the Blue Suckers (noon); Goldenrod (1 p.m.); Spooqy Qs (2 p.m.); Allegionaire (3 p.m.). And there'll be weenies and burgers and discounts and stuff.
