Tell 'em mohawkdave sent you! 
You might like to go visit CBGB's and support them while you still have the chance...
THE EPOXIES ARE PLAYING ON JUNE 8TH! The rumour is they may be set for closing .......... This is truly a slap in the face after so many years of being the foundation of wonderful (and sometimes not so wonderful) original rock and roll for us all to hear and be a part of. Don't be sad you missed the end of this chapter of history----if the horrible powers to be do indeed close their doors.....
HOPEFULLY THE MERMAID PARADE WILL BE JUST AS GOOD AS ALWAYS IN 2006!!! IT IS JUNE 24TH THIS YEAR, SO GET YOUR IDEAS READY OF WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO BE AND WEAR AND DON'T MISS IT (AGAIN....HELEN AND BRIAN)!!! It's not as far off as you might think!
Hope So! Who knows what the Coney Island Urban Renewal Project has in store for the future of Coney Island as we know it.....time will tell....
