Bonjourno, readers! Is it getting hot in here, or is it just me? Lazily we recline, veritably engorged with patriotism, still reeling from the three days of acid reflux we inadvertently thrust upon ourselves via pork rinds, light beer, and good times. A fickle mistress, they proved, and call to me still from beyond the grave. Nationalism is the heartburn, and disgusting Rock n Roll is the antacid. Walk with me, won't you?
Saturday holds, as per the usual, a riveting Irish Music Session in the afternoon (Tepid Guinness! I'll take two!) followed by an indie-math Pitchfork-darling studded extravaganza starring People of Color, Yellow Fever, Whitey, and 14foot1. Wednesday the 14th, Providence Geeks carry on the monthly tradition of Geek Dinner. Join us at 5:30 to, in their own words, help Rhode Island's digital innovators connect, collaborate, and ultimately make the City-State and its geeks info-technology leaders. Or just pick up programmers. Zing! Put a ring on it. Stick around for Royal Jelly, Grids, So Cow, and Panther Moderns. So Cow hails all the way from picturesque "land of the green" Ireland, and has been described on the internet as something meets something meets ABBA. SOLD!!!! You had me "It's so different from the world I'm living in; tired of TV." Thursday takes a hard left onto Hardcore Ave with Soul Control, Voetsek, Coss Examination, and Dios Mio. Thanks, Armageddon! Has anybody seen my backpatch? Friday evening, team... are you ready for this? Friday evening we are both psyched honored to be hosting the Girls Rock Rhode Island camp showcase. Gals age 11-18 will have spent the week learning to play instruments, forming bands, silkscreening shwag, writing songs, and all around being awesome. If anybody out there believes that arts education is a must have, that music carries with a transformative power, that feminism probably shouldn't be dead, or that Rock n Roll does in fact soothe the soul, get your grass down here from 7-8pm to cheer these bands on at their first show ever, though probably not their last. Feel free to shower them with record deals and positive reinforcement.
That's the good word, readers. I put this knowledge in your hands. Do with it what you will. For a full rundown of our happs, get thee to our calendar. Now I'm off for a Sea Breeze. Until the rock show, away!
