Dear World,

It’s Thanksgiving eve. It’s also 80 degrees outside and I had to put my sweaters away this morning.

We’re going to be celebrating this confusing start to the holiday season tonight by getting down at One Eyed Jacks (615 Toulouse St)! We’ll be playing with MyNameIsJohnMichael for their last show of the year, and we’ve got a lot of party tricks we’ve been practicing all week. The show starts at 10, and it’s $10 at the door. Hope to see you there!

More importantly,

In case you didn’t already know, our favorite Renaissance man Ross Farbe has been making music in his bedroom for a while under the name Native America. His first album “Dancing About Architecture” was just re-released via Park the Van Records with three new unreleased bonus tracks. You can pick it up and read a letter from Ross right here. Give it a listen if you love puppies and double rainbows and everything good in the world.

Happy Turkey!

It’s Time.
