It’s the last weekend before the unofficial end of summer (Labor Day), and what a weekend it is. We have the third installment of Flying Dog’s Summer Sessions series with J Roddy Walston and Old Indian taking the stage (yes, we’ll be there, and yes, we’ll be getting in touch if you are our lucky winner of TWO FREE TICKETS to the show!). We have another fabulous installment of Alive @ Five about to go down on the creek in a few hours. We have Flap Jack’s birthday bash tomorrow night at Bentz Street (P.S. Flap Jack is Matt from The Knolly Moles and no, you won’t want to miss whatever in the name of God’s green earth he has in store). We have a pair of “Voice” contestants coming to town Saturday afternoon as part of the FUNomenon that we mentioned this morning (you can read all about it here). And, of course, we have something called Drunk Naked Pirates. So, there’s that. It’s going to be one hell of a weekend, friends, so come say hi to us at Flying Dog and get out to a show or eight over the next three days!
