Well. So. It’s Halloween weekend. And Larry Keel is coming to town. The Blue Side, to be exact. And above these words, you can find an entire concert from one, Mr. Larry Keel. So, a happy Halloween to you, too. Also this weekend – tonight, more specifically – the spectacular Somi will be coming to town, and some of us will be there. Will you? You ought to be. Wait. Need more? Can we interest you in an open house at the Frederick Rock School, as The Blues Vultures perform and some other band who shall remain nameless take the stage? How about The Fun Boys and Cheshi, who will team up for an epic show tonight at Cafe Nola? That ought to strike your fancy. There’s some Super Thanks For Asking. There’s some Wharf Rats and gosh darn-it, doesn’t that sound fun. There’s some Atomic 26. There’s some Aztec Sun. There’s some Murphy’s Law. There’s a whole host of Halloween gatherings. And, of course, there’s Beheading The Prophets. The chill of fall has set in, friends. And some of us don’t even have a coat. Get that costume ready. November will be here in no time.
