Things to Do This Week

If you're in Chicago:

Tomorrow (that's Tuesday) at 9pm at the Empty Bottle, Canasta will be joined by the Battle Royale, who played with us up in Minneapolis. They brought out a really great crowd for us when we were up there, and we'd love to return the favor. Hot hot dance party guaranteed.

If you're not in Chicago (or you like going to bed early -- pfft):

There's only a week left in this month's Mix contest (complete details here). A couple of Team Chicago peeps have mentioned to me lately that they didn't know how to write music reviews, so they were intimidated to go onto Amazon to write one. Don't be afraid, it's the internet! You're anonymous! Plus, chances are, if you're reading this blog, you are in the upper 10th percentile of Internet writers and grammarians: people who (a) write in complete sentences and (b) have never used more than three exclamation points in a row. (But it's so fun!!!!!!!!!!) I'm just trying to generate a little buzz for the EP, so if you have two minutes, head over to Amazon and buzz away before July 1st.
