Wow, welcome Mike.....
I'm proposing a pre-gig drink-up/get-together on the 22nd at a nearby bar,
where we can all rendez-vous and tie one on prior to the festivities.
Someone else suggested we all show up in Jaz-styled warpaint.....which would
be funny...if a bit pathetic....but still funny.
Who's in?
Alex in NYC
