Speaking of birthday parties, don’t forget Beto’s Birthday Bash, Saturday night at Launchpad. A dozen bands plus a ton of great grub, all in honor of longtime employee Albert, aka, Beto. It’s a tradition you shouldn’t miss, especially now that Albert’s going to be a big-time TV star, what with that cowboys-and-Indians mini-series he’s been working on. You’ll be able to say you knew him when!
Speaking of almost famous, Rudy’s Barbecue is looking for a band to star in their next commercial. Remember those old spots with Dem Bones? Well, Rudy’s decided to get some fresh meat on board for a sizzlin’ new music video-style ad. The gig pays only fame, glory and a bunch of gift certificates for pulled pork. They’ll consider any kind of music, but if your band is called Cannibal Colostomy Bag, you probably don’t have the kind of warm and fuzzy family-atmosphere vibe they’re going for.
