Arrgh! (in my best Charlie Brown voice)
After the 15th, I'm pretty much open (one guitarist and our sound guy are out fishing) Weekends in there are 16th & 17th, 23rd & 24th, or 30th & 31st. I'll ramp up a search for a venue if the mothership is represented. I'm mostly a western suburban dude, and don't have direct links downtown, but I can ask around.
