A Brief Slice of Langley

This, my dear comrades, is the first time I have ever blogged.

I must confess that I have thought about doing it. I've spent hours tossing sleepless in my bed, debating the pros and cons of blatantly exposing myself to the internet, but until this moment I've never mustered the guts to actually do it. So, as soon you're done applauding my soul-shattering bravery, I do have real business to discuss with you.

Jackpot Donnie has a show coming on December 6th, at a little place called Underground Lounge. For those in attendance, it will be a special event, for it will be an intimate gathering with a slight flavoring of THEME. We've chosen two of our favorite bands to play with us, Speak Her Language (whom some of you have certainly marveled at in the past) and our new friends, Ital Conquerors (current holders of the Lords of Island Vibrations championship belt).

In the immortal words of my fellow patriot, John McCain: "My friends, there will be reggae, my friends." And it is going to move you, physically, psychically, spiritually and literally.

Now, I know what you're thinking. "This has got to be the greatest blog I have ever read! I yearn for weekly updates from this dashing and witty man!" Well, I have heard your call to action, and I plan to respond with vigor! I will return as often as I possibly can, because my mind NEEDS to spew countless tons of verbal dioramas onto your computer screen, like a horse-hoof needs iron shoes.

So, until next time, my glorious comrades, I leave with you this:

Halloween Show - 11/1/08 - Elbo Room


We had a great time playing the Elbo Room on Halloween weekend.  Thanks to everyone who came out. We saw some great costumes. Heck, even Gumby and Jesus showed up...together!

That's how you know it was a good time.
