My 90s band Enduro is opening for our friends The Crack Pipes for their 30th Anniversary show. And the incredible Grand Champeen is playing in the middle! Should be quite a rollick. See you at the Hole in the Wall Saturday, 11/22, at 9:00!

Does anyone remember this one? At the time, I thought it was a stylish and taut thriller. Might rewatch for Halloween week.
A movie poster for Shallow Grave wherein three 20-something people hover above a man lying in a bed. Text includes: "from the director of Trainspotting," "Ewan McGregor, Kerry Fox, Christopher Eccleston," and "What's a little murder between friends?" It isn't obvious from the poster, but all the people pictured are supposed to be Scottish.

Does anyone remember Man Bites Dog? Not a horror movie per se but a very grim and funny film. Might make for good Halloween viewing.

Do you like The Rolling Stones? My friend Angie does. Every year she has the Stones play her birthday party, and everyone’s invited. This year, I get to be Mick, Keith, and a little Bill, I guess? Come to the Carousel Saturday @ 7. I guarantee that you’ll get some satisfaction.
It’s a poster for the above-described show that shows an illustration of a pouty Veronica Lodge wearing a plum-colored longsleeve T-shirt that says “Star Star.” It lists the bands: Bruised Sinatra, Larry Seaman, Texacala Jones, Nick Ferrari, Cheap Fix, The Eric Hisaw Band, Street Fighting Man, Lisa Gamache, The Midnight Ramblers, The Differentials, Cocksucker Blues. There is a costume contest.

We have a great show lined up for Dallas this Saturday. At the world-famous Texas Theater! With Eerie Family and Odd Fellows. Come watch Day of the Dead and meet us behind the screen afterward. I haven’t played Dallas since the 90s so come out and show me a good time! #cheapfixatx
Cool illustration of a scaly guy holding his disembodied head and a hypo being confronted by Cerberus. There’s also a free-floating eye that appears to be shooting lightning?

I can’t really describe it? A shadowy figure in a black hat with very red lips but a lot weirder and creepier than that.
