BTO Show, March 7.
The following is an announcement for the first non-wedding event I've planned since Miriam and I got full-body searched at the Brighton Center cop shop.
Reasons to go:
1. It's a benefit for Eastie's first (and only) community art space, and we really need one.
2. You can see art by Liz, the woman who skinned the humping dog at the bad gift swap this year. (as CTP said "um, you forgot your pelt" as they were leaving.)
3. The Makeout Club sings a song that includes "you can't be a stalker without binoculars"
4. The Atlantic Works space is just AWESOME
5. BTO is debuting our new cover of "Wipeout!"
6. You feel guilty because you had a hand in getting me arrested the last time. THAT MEANS YOU, YES YOU!

You hosting? I'll bring the 30 rack.

Bump.
The afterparty will either be at 112 Trenton St., Cafe' Italia, Eddie C's, or the dive-y-est bar I've ever been to, Trainor's, depending on people's prerogatives.

Wish I could be there, but promised to babysit my nephew this weekend.

Bring him!

SEIZE HIM!

I like Eddie C's. 112 Trenton Street is fun too, but doesn't serve pitchers.

Seriously considered it, but he's 9. Then again, he might enjoy seeing how cool his aunt is...by proxy, of course.

"cool" is not usually how I describe the BTO, but to a 9 year old? I have NO idea.

Reason #9: You can meet my mom and my aunt, omg.

At the very least he would think it sufficiently strange enough to talk about it for months. Sadly, we'll be snowed in, with an expected forcast of up to 6".

HOOOOOOORAY!

How did it go? Photos, soundbytes, first-person reportage? Enquiring minds want to know!

Here's the email we got from head of cultural center:
"We can thank you all enough for your amazing and generous performance at 80 Border
Street Cultural Exchange Center this Saturday. You helped put our little performing
arts center on the map (not to mention giving us a good headstart on our rent this
month). Your performance was great, and we were so thrilled to be able to give
people the opportunity to experience you. We hope you can come back and perform
again (as a paid gig). We promise not to put out any chairs next time. Best, Ejay"
It's a small space but it was standing room out into the hallway. The East Boston Makeout Club Band were a huge hit. And my mother said that she was going to write a letter to Jay Leno to get us an appearance on his show. Alas, my camera went missing so no pictures.

Let me know when you're planning your European tour...

Thanks, sweetie!
My favorite part in this photo are Drrk's hands. And I have no idea why I'm giving Jim the look of death in this photo.
