This event notice will stay at the top of my blog until August 1st, just scroll down for shows.

I’ve been doing this gig on KPSU for six years now, can you believe it!!?! Crazy. That’s 312 weekly episodes, seven address changes, eight Orange Alerts, two Britney Spears marriages, and one marriage and baby of my own. It’s been priceless. As in, I don’t get paid.

And I suppose I don’t mind; I’d rather do it and not make money than not do it at all.

I’ll be celebrating my show’s 6th Anniversary by having a few bands I love come and play!

Tea for Julie
Boy Eats Drum Machine
Blind Pilot
DoublePlusGood
At KPSU’s venue, The Modern Age (map)

Admission is only $5 (not much more than a gallon of gas!) This is an all-ages show.
