The First Annual Coaster Throwing Championships July 22nd at Phog Lounge

Click To Play

An event I've been wanting to put on for a long while now...
The best coaster throwers (in their own minds) will be invited to come out and fling coasters at targets arranged on stage, which will then be ranked based on how well or terrible they throw.
Each round, people are eliminated until there are two participants left.
The mediocre prizes go to the victor, and a champion is born.

The event run July 22nd, a Tuesday, at 8pm.
If you want in, you must e-mail me or tell me you want in.
T-shirts, CDs, and who knows what else will be gifted to the winner...with a possible runner-up prize.

My cousin has a good idea.
This is it.
I'm sure he's had more than one, but this is the one he's working on right now...
By the way, WAMM magazine prices are more than reasonable considering what it is providing, and to my knowledge there are ads for anyone's range...even under $75...love you WAMM...

Egotorium Art Show begins at Phog Lounge

Windsor Live Music: Whoa Nellie! (Toronto) playing Phog Saturday July 5th

Whoa Nellie!
At long last Whoa, Nellie! is back in Windsor with a show coming up this Saturday, July 5th at the Phog Lounge, located at 157 University Ave. West, right downtown. Ahh, the swing-a-billy sounds of summer!!

We're gonna hit you up for a measly $5 at the door to pay the band, and what a band it will be: alongside expat Windsorite Vera Colley on the accordion & vocals and Johnny G pickin' guitar, we've got local rhythm section extraordinaire Josh Zalev on bass, and Bradford Helner on drums. Josh and Bradford are featured on our upcoming album "Truckers, Kickers and Cowboy Angels" recorded here in Windsor, due out this Christmas.

The show starts at 11:00 p.m. until the rollicking wee hours -- hope to see you there. A fun time will be had by all. Promise. Tell your friends!

Regards, Vera

Perilelle rocked Saturday night

With my new video-capturing toy, I was able to film Steph Copeland doing what impresses all of us each and every time she takes the stage.
Thanks to Emily, Steph's sister, for putting on the show, and bringing The Interior Project from Detroit!
