Hartford's Living Room, the La Paloma Sabanera coffee house, is shutting its doors at the end of this month, and its owner, Virginia, is moving on to other, better things.
We (i.e., people who have run and participated in events at La Paloma Sabanera over the years) are marking this occasion with a bit of sadness but also with a big party on Wednesday, June 26, from 6pm to 11:30.

Will any mefites be attending the
New England Folk Festival next month - April 19-21? It's held at the middle and high schools in Mansfield, MA (they are on the same property) - the town is where 95 meets 495 outside Boston. If you have any interest in folk music, contra and morris dancing, or any of the associated awesomeness, you're sure to have a good time.

OK, I've done this half-hearted self-promotion on Metafilter before, and people encouraged me to post if I was doing another gig (and it's taken this long to get one) - I'll be playing a thirty-five minute set, probably at about 9:15 at The Stage Door in Waterloo (behind the Old Vic, nearest tube Waterloo). Free entrance.

Me being Grangousier.
(That's my MeFi superhero name, my real name is John Peacock).
And this being a gesture in the general direction of promoting said bout of self-expression in the general direction of anyone who might have met me at a previous MeFi
piss-up social event and consequently be interested or curious or such. I'll be playing a half-hour set at 20:00 in the basement of The Spice of Life, right in the heart of London's West End, next door to
Singing in the Rain. It's free to get in, which is important in these days of reduced access to coinage.

My yacht rock cover band project, Three Sheets to the Wind, will be performing at
the Knitting Factory this Friday. We are headed up from our home in Virginia for a Virginia Tourism Corporation private event in Manhattan on Thursday, and decided to book a show for the public while we're up there.
Back home in Richmond, the band was voted Best Band or Best Cover Band, depending on which publication you read in 2011.

My band Pueblo is playing at the
Black Cat in DC! With
a band I love, Dolfish. The live setup is a duo with me and a powerful drummer - who I've been playing with for a good quarter of my life. We've got quite a few new songs and such - some of which I've been posting on Metafilter Music and some others which are online - but it'll be great! Aaand, I'll buy you a drink if you can make it!

My band,
Short Wave, is playing its first gig, at Sally O'Brien's in Union Square, Somerville! We're opening for an old Boston indie mainstay,
the In Out (which I was a part of in 1995-96), and they are releasing their latest LP. Yes, vinyl, not CD. So: Friday, July 29, we go on at 10PM.
Sam Wheeler opens up at 9PM. SUPPORT LOCAL MUSIC, PEOPLE! Thanks!
