Lots of things happening around here. Many different gigs popping up.

This 27th we  in BRW were going to play a private party in Millis Mass. Ended up being an internet scam. Yeah, unreal. The scam being they send you a rubber check for 2 gigs, then cancel one, you send the money back and once the rubber check bounces....band fucked. Luckily I am not (quite) that stupid.

May 2nd we are putting on our own little festival in one of the coolest rooms EVER. We will be at Avon Old farms Inn in Hartford CT. Avon Old Farms Inn is one of the Twentiest oldest restaurants in the good ole USA. an absolute beautiful place.  We are both privledged and honored to get to play in such a cool spot. We will have good friend Jeff Martinsons band Legion of Jerry and a band called The String band opening up. We are making it quite the affair. Besides playing in the Bell Terrace ball room, the outside courtyard will be filled with hippie vendors and food. May 20th. 5pm - 1pm. You do not want to miss this one.

May 17th, a Sunday, we are doing a benefit for Nick's nephew who lost his mom in the car accident I mentioned last blog. We will have a silent auction of various cool things including a package from The Blue Water Resorts. It's going to be from noon to 5pm.

Also in May....MAINE! Peace Jam 2009. I can hardly wait for May. It's going to be a great month!

In Jukebox Zero news we did our first Rick's billiard's in Putnam CT and it went really well. Bunch of great singers including Nick Muce who sang 9 or 10 tunes with us. We got to re- live the early CFZ days by tapping into a couple of Violent Femmes tunes. Kiss Off and one I can't quite recall the name of. Great night.  Friday the 13th we were back at Boagart's to a packed house and many good singers. This Friday we are hired to back up Stonehill colleges American Idol competition final. That should be a hoot.

More another time,

Mike
