Hey guys,
There are some pretty good shows downtown this weekend. The music starts tonight, with a show at the Sentient Bean. After that, you can choose between reggae-rock at Barrelhouse South or punk and fun-rock at the Jinx. There are plenty of shows on Friday, I hope to catch City Hotel and the Hypnotics, then finish the night at the Jinx for the Talking Heads cover band, Same As It Ever Was (but be careful, the show usually sells out). Saturday looks like another night of multiple choices, I plan to mostly hang out at the Jinx for AM Rodriguez’s CD Release Party. But I am sure I will be able to sneak out a catch a little bit of some of the other shows up and down Congress St. Be sure to get out for some music this weekend, it will be cold soon and you will use that an excuse to not go downtown.
