Hey all.  How'z it?  :)  Just a quick note about a couple things this weekend ...

First, we're doing a cool bluegrass show at Silver Moon this Friday evening ... PERT NEAR SANDSTONE from Minneapolis.  Good wholesome stringband goodness.  9PM show, 21+ only and tix are only $6 at the door. Check them at www.pertnearsandstone.com.  It's Artwalk downtown so should be a good night out for sure.

It's also Denise Cajacob's birthday (Happy Birthday!) and she's havin' a party that night.  Heh heh.

Saturday ... DJ Anjali and the Incredible Kid are playing at the Tulen Center ... who you might remember from the Grove ... under the ATLAS moniker.  Anjali plays bhangra (from India) and assorted 3rd world party beats and she plays with her partner The Incredible Kid.  Really spicy mix of tunes they play.  Niiiiice!  And I bet Dale's EAW sound system will be down there .. mmm ....  :)

Also on Saturday, our man Lucius is playing at the Astro Lounge ... which has recently been doing some DJ stuff.  Not the usual thing for the Astro, but it's actually a pretty nice setup down in the front window there and they're just doing DJs that are doing their own thing (vs. DJs that are playing Top 40 at the other joints) so you're bound to hear some cool interesting music.  There's a little dancefloor and it's totally nice (and free!) especially later in the evening when the other bars have all gone crunk and sideways and sloppy.  :)  If you wanna check out a mixtape from Lucius, you can find one at www.thegrove411.net/FileSpace/Music (and other mixes from the crew there as well).  It might also be Diana's birthday on Saturday night ... so there'll be trouble afoot!  :)

And speaking of Lucius ... he'll be at the Mandala Yoga Community during Artwalk (Friday night), next to the Poet House.  He'll be talking up the healing arts program, giving free massages, tea by Townshend's. 5:30 til 7:30.

Hope everyone is well, see you soon!
Chris
