[NewMusic] discounts

[Alan Anzalone]

potatoes - you could by a 40-50lb. for about that. If only ramen  
noodles we available then. a shitty part-time job at $2.00/hr in a  
sandwich shop paid rent and bills and put food on the table. and you  
still could afford to go to the fillmore or keystone and buy some drugs.

the times they did-a change, about 25 years ago. i consider myself  
very lucky to have come up then.

i was lucky enough to win a couple tickets to Zorn's thing at UCB  
last weekend, and volunteered to help at 21 Grand for Fred and  
Joelle's show, so there are alternatives to paying to see shows.  
uumm, I've been playing almost every week at Temescal Cafe for a  
couple months, free, no cover charge. interestingly, nobody on this  
list has showed up and we end up playing to a handful of people that  
come to use the wifi. unfortunately, the owners have decided to close  
at night  after this week. oops, there goes another venue.

so Gino, send your students to Temescal cafe at 49th & telegraph  
tonite, 7pm. Damon, Aurora and Scott will join SoloBasura in a  
performance of Howl. it's FREE

Damon, Jacob, Ava and Weasel are playing there this Saturday, 7pm,  
it's FREE

absolutely NO discounts of any kind will be offered!
