This week is fucking insane

Yes it is blip festival 2009 this week. And TWO of my close friends are having CD releases!

I sadly missed Misty Boyce @ Mercury Lounge this past Friday, AND Brook Pridemore @ the Sidewalk on Saturday. I'm sure there was PLENTY more that I missed.

I'm trying to think through this week & kind of promote my friends at the same time.

Here is what I am going to at this point. If you happen to read this, and I'm missing something, let me know.

MONDAY (12.14.09)

Ivan and the Terribles CD Release @ The Studio at Webster Hall. Also I believe Lowry is playing right after them. Suite.

TUESDAY (12.15.09)

Bar 4 for open mic/promotion of Blip Fest 2009/Public Assembly Show on the 20th.

All are welcome. Bring fliers/buttons/CDs if you want to promote!

**Id be happy to distribute fliers, just get them to me by tomorrow**

Sign up is @ 6:30 if you want to play.

**This is where I am pretty much every Tuesday. Its a party & an open Mic. Although its mostly singer/song writer stuff, it could be nice practice for Weds Pre-Blip open Mic**

WEDNESDAY (12.16.09)

The night before BLIP! Pre Blip Open Mic/Meet & Greet @ The Tank. I had an amazing time at this thing last year. My band 8BK-OK had our first performance, which lead to 2 DataPop shows, Pulsewave, etc. Just COME.

Also that night @ Bar 4: Local Correspondents Showcase! Lara Ewen! Heidi Sidelinker! (Paul Basile has really really good taste)
