Were You Born On The 4th of July? And, Will Somebody Send Me A Picture That Has An Unobstructed Action View Of All Five Black Lashes?

Do you like Independence, explosives and Ribs? Then do we have a weekend of sun and fun for YOU!

You've got a whole passel of chances to check out Benji Hughes; he's crooning Thursday night at Petra's, followed by a two-night residency at Snug Harbor! Friday night Benji will be joined by The Poontanglers who, rumor has it, will join him on stage for a couple of "numbers". Then, on the day that we fought to take back our planet from horrible aliens, "Fool's Brigade Favorites" Trouble Walkers ably aid and abet Benji!

The Penguin's 9th Annual Pig "Pickin" , wherein a hog is dressed up like Thomas Jefferson and chased through the streets of Plaza-Midwood, kicks off the 4th of July Festivities tomorrow at 6:00. Music will be the rule of the day, featuring performances from The Belmont Playboys, The Needles, The Dead Kings, M4 Messenger and Black Lashes!

And don't forget Phil's 3rd Annual-Semi-Annual Tour d'Ribs! If an animal has any kind of rib, we shall remove it and grill it!
