I know I've said this before.  And you're probably tired of hearing it.  But, it is absolutely imperative that you make it to the Square Tire Music label launch show tomorrow night.  Because we have so many of your old friends that we've arranged to show up.  Remember that one kid that bullied you in the second grade?  Well, we've got that person showing up. And you get to punch them in the gut!  And remember that one evil lady that lived next to you and always screamed at you whenever you crossed into her yard?  Yeah, well, she really wanted to come but we told her that she couldn't because YOU were gonna be there.  See?  See the trouble we're actually going through to make this a great show for you?  So don't you shirk your musical responsibilities.

The line-up for Saturday's show is gonna look like this...

I Give Up (my new and radically brilliant side-project band)
New Maximum Donkey (who are releasing a brilliant new second record)
The Power Cords (who also have a stunning new record)
Secret Powers (Shmed from Arlo's new band, also with  a new second record)
Get Set Go (you know, those jerks)

So, really, truthfully, how could you even possibly manage to consider doing anything other than marching straight down to the Center For the Arts, Eagle Rock and standing in line, right now.  To make sure you're the first person in the door for what will most probably be the greatest night of your heretofore short but now significantly lengthened life.  Yes, that's right.  Going to this show will add years onto your life.  And not even the backend.  Not the crappy old years.  You'll shed ten years by seeing this show.  If you're 30, you'll walk away 20.  If you're 26, well, you'll be your sweet 16 again.  And if you're 16, well, you don't lose years.  Instead, your bank account swells!  With hundreds of dollars for each hour spent at the show!  Ohmigod!  It's too good to be true!
