A tumble-dried show announcement.

It’s after 1am and I’m waiting for my laundry to finish drying. There’s a Colbert re-run on the television, my cat is hopping about in his nocturnal revelry and I’ve got one more load to go before I can call it a night.

Tomorrow morning I head out of town for the weekend, but before I go I want to make sure to let everyone know that I’ll be performing this next Friday night, the 20th, at the Beat Coffeehouse in Minneapolis. I haven’t played the Beat before, but I’ve heard good things.

The Smarts and the Humbugs are playing before me (7pm and 8pm, respectively). I can personally vouch for the Humbugs, as their lead singer is Adam Marshall and he’s a royally strong songwriter. The Humbugs latest album is in my car and gets regular play. The Smarts are a band I know next to nothing about but Adam tells me they’re good. I believe him.

So — if you’re free next Friday night, and you’re in the mood to hear live music, come on out to the Beat Coffeehouse in Minneapolis and enjoy the show. I take the stage at 9pm.

I hear the buzzer on the dryer now, so its time for me to split.

See you next Friday.
