My friends who run Punk Rock Aerobics are starting classes at TT the Bears in Cambridge, MA today. TT's is on Brookline St. in Central Square. To celebrate, they're having a party at TT's beginning at 8:30. A bunch of musicians will each be performing one or two "acoustic" versions of various punk rock classic hits.
Performers include: Cubby Berk (Lovers),
Ray Needs (Beefy DC) & Tony Goddess (Papas Fritas),
Bill Janovitz (Buffalo Tom),
Jim Buni (Buttercup),
Nate Albert & Mikey Welsh (The Kickovers),
The Operators,
Melissa & Meredith of Heavy Stud,
Rich Pontius (The Touch Me Theres),
Chris Toppin (Fuzzy) & Hilken Mancini (Count Me Outs),
Michelle Paulhaus (The Dents),
Dave Sakowski (Swizzle),.... and your truly. I'll be doing two Ramones songs on theremin. :)
I don't know the order of the performers, but it's FREE.
DC area Buffistas: In preparation for kicking off a Buffy rpg, I'm having a Buffy DVD party Wednesday Jan. 8th. This is remedial buffing up (sorry) for some non-fan players, but we'll probably watch the Season 3 DVDs anyway because I'M running the show.
All are welcome, email me at zone_wombat@yahoo.com.
Got a thank you note from Doug Petrie today, for the baby basket we sent.
Text as follows:
Dear Allyson,
Big, fat (if somewhat belated) thanks to you and the Buffistas for the groovy baby basket!
All loves and appreciated...
The knitted hat from VA a particular favorite.
Again, thanks and love and gratitude from me, my wife, and of course little Henry Joseph.
Heart
Doug Petrie
I will scan the card in tomorrow for your viewing pleasure...along with the picture of the World's Cutest Mutant Enemylet, which was enclosed. Cute baby, man.
Note from Doug Petrie.
