February Last Thursday!

Show opens Thursday, Feb. 28th, 7pmish. Homies Raskoe and Chris Semer are flying out all the way from Columbus, Ohio to bring us an awesome show and a special surprise as well. Raskoe’s involvement with us goes back to the days of Street Level where he had some rad paintings and did some sticker and pillow designs for us. We love him and his best buddy Chris.

Come drink beer and get down to local DJ Lob Robster…7pmish ’til late. There are rumors of a choreographed Britney Spears vs. Justin Timberlake dance competition, OMG.

Show runs Feb. 28th through Mar. 27th.
