Hi, folks! So we are having a little run of shows here at the end of May and early June. Here's the first one. . .

THIS FRIDAY, MAY 16
At the ZEPHYR LOUNGE in Reno
9 pm start, 21-plus, $5

So this is the first official "Mister Vague" show at the Zephyr in almost two years. Whoa! Yeah, it's been awhile. I have to credit both Jason and Marcus for pushing me to go back to the old haunt, and for Blackie and the cast and crew of The Flesh Hammers for wanting to do a show together again -- hence this ideal location, home of several strange moments in the lives of Blackie and myself (and that was offstage ha ha!).

Anyway, this should be a fun one for you, especially if like the rawk side of. We're gonna debut a coupla new covers (if we play them OK at practice that is) and we are planning to rattle fillings a few times during the set. Rest assured, that we won't be doing anything nice and easy at this show. We'll do it nice. And rough. A little tune called "Proud Mary . . ."

Oh, crap, got away from myself again on that one. Anyway, for those of you who remember the hazy daze of the early '00s, stop on by.
