What's Going On ...

Staind show in Bako a no go.

Goodness? Has it been a week since I updated? Apologizes all around. I'm sipping lemon tea, battling a sore throat, but why should that stop the frickin' blog! Let's play catch up ... First off ...



Fall Brawl was cancelled: I found out on Saturday the show wasn't happening. I didn't get a formal reason why until yesterday. Apparently Staind had some promotional obligations to attend to, hence had to cancel the show. I was pretty bummed since I had a really cool interview with P.O.D. already in the can. Perhaps I'll still write it and put it on the blog. Drummer Wuz had some cool things to say about spirituality, rock music and former Korn bandmate Brian "Head" Welch.


LKN to play Riley's Tavern next weekend.

Greyday Productions artist LKN (that's multi-talented musician Lauren K. Newman) is playing Riley's Tavern Nov. 20 with Boyskout. She's promoting her album "In the Leap Year" ... Commedians Edwin San Juan, Flye and George Perez are doing the Hot 94.1 Comedy show at the DoubleTree Hotel Wednesday, Nov. 16. The show will be hosted by DJ Cooch.
