News

I don't know about the rest of you outside Minnesota (or should I say MinneSNOWta) but we got socked with a big storm yesterday and we're trying to dig ourselves out from a heap o' snow. It's very pretty though. Looks like there will be a White Christmas anyway!

I trust you all have your holiday shopping all taken care of? Yeah, right, I haven't started yet either.

Not much new in the way of website news except the new additions below:

House Concerts

Upcoming Shows:

The Vienna Teng shows were so MUCH fun!! We had a blast! The first show we had something like seven no shows which is always upsetting because those seven seats could have gone to people who really wanted to be there. But what can you do!? As it turns out we had a perfect number of people to be comfortable for most everyone.

It was interesting how the two shows differed. I expected the Friday show to be more of the party atmosphere, but it was reversed. The Friday folk were really quite reserved and mellow while the Thursday group was hooting and hollering and whooping and even gave a standing ovation. Both shows were wonderful in their own ways. I hope to have both Vienna and Alex Wong back soon.

The only future show I have booked right now is Ben Arthur in the Spring of 2008. We may book more before that.
