Shadow Prison - October 2nd, 2008

So I got a call at work, last month. It was one of my musician friends, "Dude, DUDE. I need a favor. You've got to play a show with us."
I am already in, even though I have no idea what it will be. He always has these crazy ideas, but he's so excited about them, that it becomes infectious. So I ask what he has in mind, this time.

"We just got back from the laundromat. That place has INCREDIBLE acoustics, so we decided that we need to do a show there!"

Now, I'm definitely IN. This sounds absolutely ridiculous, but it would certainly be a great story to tell, after the fact.
He said that he was going to approach some diverse people and put together an eclectic mix of acts, doing short 15-minute spin cycle sets.

Apparently, other people also found his enthusiasm to be infectious, because here is what he has put together for this Sunday's guerrilla-style art-takeover of a downtown laundromat.
