I mark the anniversary of my birth this evening at the stroke of midnight. Every year I organize a little show to celebrate the fact I managed not to do anything incredibly dumb that resulted in my death during the preceding 365 days. Tonight is also remarkable in that it features the debut of The Midnight Shows, the new rock and/or soul band headed up by ex-Woolworthy frontman Rudy Gonzalez. Also performing are Textbook and Muchacha, both incredibly high-energy local favorites, and my girlfriend will take over DJing duties in-between sets when I’m too drunk to cue up any more songs.

Anyway, I hope to see you tonight at The Pontiac…and don’t worry about buying me a drink since I will probably already have had too many.
