Well, my band is finally up and running again and we are playing our first show this Thursday September 27th in Ybor at a bar called The Orpheum. We are playing with two other bands and we go on first. Probably around 10. Doors open at 9 and it’s $5 ($4 with student ID). It would be great to have some dopers out. If you would like more info, please feel free to email me. ---

The Orpheum is in Ybor city on 8th ave. If you are familiar with Bar Tampa on 7th, it is just one block up on the corner. I believe that Broccoli may come out but I am not 100%. He has seen my band a few times and probably can’t take the pain anymore 😉 ---

I’ve got visitors in from out of town until Saturday, but I will try my best to be there. I may be dragging along my sister-in-law. Orpheum is one block up from Bar Tampa - towards Ybor Square? I’m not knowing my Ybor geography so super good. ---

I’d be there if I could, **pez**. Unfortunately, flying down on that short of notice isn’t in the cards right now! 😃 Ya know, the biggest thing I miss about FL is all you West Coast/Central FL Dopers… Play great, **pez** (you know you will, comments to the contrary!) and the rest of you, you’re guaranteed to have a good time! ---

Dammit, if you’d said something earlier I probably could’ve organized a trip to Tampa and brought along someone who I KNOW would enjoy the show, pezpunk. (I mean, besides me.) BUT since you didn’t, there’s no way I can do it. (Besides, I have class Friday. Maybe another time.) ---

Thats a shame nocturne. Maybe you can make it next month (20th) also in ybor. I will probably post again around then. ---
