Tovo-Shade watch: June 8, 2011.

Wednesday, June 8th, 2011

The bars on 6th Street have decided to cancel their “vote for Randi Shade” promotion. (Previously.)

I guess without the drink specials, they’re going to have to attract folks to the bars with the usual lineup of stellar bands:

  • Infinite Piehole.
  • $10 Beer.
  • Horrible Pudding Accident.
  • Poetry Night.
  • and the legendary Puppet Show.

(Credit where credit is due: 1 and 3 are stolen from the Scalzinator. 2 and 4 are stolen from Lawrence. 5 should need no explanation.)

(Edited to add: Lawrence points out that I forgot Austin’s other legendary band, “Closed For Remodeling”, as well as the up and coming “Amway Meeting”.)

They weren’t exactly to my taste, but I know my mother read them for a time.
