Hello, so it's been a good old fashioned groupiegirldc kind of week. We'll have been to Iota 3 times in 7 days by Sunday. There are good shows at Velvet Lounge and Staccato this weekend. Check out Mr. Joel's calendar, it's got most of what I have not had time to add to mine.

Especially take note of the Alejandro Escovedo Benefit little promos for this show have been popping up everywhere. It's my kind of line up-LTH, Little Pink, Bill Kirchen, Jumpin Jupiter, Bill Kirchen, Brandon (whose last name I can't remember, from Canyon, Karl Straub, Lee Wilhoit (hmmm that's now all the members of the former Graverobbers? Reunion anyone?) It will be a lot switchin' around, but it should rock! I'm sure there may be other players I've missed to so come on out. If you have not heard of Alejandro Escovedo, search him on the net you will find gracious tribute to this still living artist who needs a lot of help with medical bills.

Now the super groupie thing to do is always keep tabs on 'developments', like who shares stage with whom and who gets posted on what message board or list serve etc. I am going to try and map out some of these new developments next as I did make it to the Holden/Rotoscope show and got visuals now on some of the AMS postersand Brandon whats-his-face from Canyon is playing at this benefit Sunday....hmmm, must digest
