Weekend Warrior, April 23 – 25

So we can’t believe our Best of Philly Showcase is finally happening tomorrow night at The Ox with Reading Rainbow, Grandchildren and Levee Drivers! It’s been a crazy two weeks finding a new venue and getting everything ready. We are most appreciative of all the help that we’ve received from the local music community to make this happen. It just reinforces to us how fuckin’ cool the people are who work behind the scenes to bring us such amazing shows! Now, it’s time to partay! Hopefully the rain will hold off during the day because we plan to chill out at the 2nd Annual Fishtown Shadfest (what an awful name, but check out the schedule below). Penn Treaty Park is a great place to hang out and see a show. We’d love to do a showcase there (but we secretly hate setting up outdoor events). Then, it’s off to The Ox or what we like to personally call “Thunderdome” (where there are no rules – just kidding, kind of – well, except to respect that it’s a home too). Looks like it’s going to be a long Saturday/Sunday day/night/morning like last weekend! The Ox, (2nd and Oxford St.), 9pm, $5, All Ages, BYOB 21+ (Photo by Aaron Debruin)
