Goodbye (for now) party for me on July 9th. Please come!



This photo of me in a roadside motel in Fort Klamath, Oregon has little or nothing to do with my leaving town for the next two months. I just dig it. I look like a guy who enjoys a good cup of joe on a cold night by a roaring electric fire in the Pacific Northwest - a.k.a., a murderer or some kind of sexual deviant. (There was wine in that coffee mug, 'nuff said?)

Anyway, I am leaving town for two months starting in July. I am hosting a little music party to say goodbye. Some might call it a "gig" or a "show." I'm calling it a party that happens to have a stage and microphones!

I've got a brand new shiny guitar! Please come hear it. I will also have brand new shiny songs! Please talk to your neighbor and say rude things during them.

When: Wed July 9th, 7:30pm.
Where: Parkside Lounge. 317 E. Houston Street (corner of Attorney St.), New York's Lower East Side.
Where, visually: MAP
Why: Because sex is fun. (Wait, that didn't make any sense. But, you never know how these things turn out.)

I think it would be fantastic to have a mother of a blowout at this thing. Those of you who know, well, you know my songs are guaranteed to entertain. And those of you who don't... What I wouldn't give to be you, hearing them for the first time.

Plus, it's early enough that you can go do other things afterward. Like have sex.

All the best,
Eli
