Hey, a couple of my friends are in a band that got into the battle of the high school bands. The band name is Jem Static, and they’re realllllly good, and I’d love to have the dopers support them and finally meet some of you after completely fucking up on the film dopefest. And if you don’t want to see me, **ElusiveMiser** might be there… that’s right! Now you want to come.  
Anyways, that’d be at Bills Bar on Lansdowne this sunday from 1-5 (there’s a bunch of bands playing and they don’t know exactly when they’re going on, but that’s how long it goes on for.)

I’ll be there for sure (this time I promise!), and I’ll wear a name tag, saying Totoro. So, come down please! Support your local good bands!

Oh, another few friends are in another band called “Mass Hysteria.” They’re a ska band, and they’re pretty popular, but I don’t much appreciate them.

I think I can probably make it, but we might want a better plan for how to recognize each other. If the place is crowded, it might be tricky to find someone just by a name tag.

Um… I’ll be the foolish looking guy… no, still too vague… I’ll make sure I’ve got something in store to make myself visible. Shouldn’t be TOO hard.
