Speaking of Howard Iceberg & the Titanics, we’re playing a free street party in the Crossroads Arts District this coming Saturday. It’s in front of The Dolphin art gallery at 19th and Baltimore, a memorial (as I understand it) to Howard’s poker-playing buddy John Puschek (sp?), who was a barbecue fanatic.

We did this same party last year, and it was lots of fun, with great food, amazing barbecue, Boulevard Beer on tap, and live music. All you have to do is walk in—apparently John was a generous guy, or anyway his friends certainly are. I think it starts about 5:00; we play from 6 to 7 (and then I have to run off to another gig), and the Original Sinners play after us, though I’m not sure what time.

I’d worry about posting this, except there are only about six people who read this blog and most of them are out of town. So I probably don’t have to worry about causing massive party-crashing. Really, come on down.

Update: Howard Iceberg & the Titanics are now scheduled to play from 4:30 to 5:30. The Original Sinners (yes, it’s my understanding they are the same guys who have been Exene Cervenka’s backup band the last couple years) go on at 8:00. In between will be a performance by local keyboard legend Rich Hill. So, I’m telling you, it’s a party!
