FBIX Update

Counting the days til Saturday night here at OTW. I do hope you'll come and bring the kool kats with you. If you missed it, here is the pertinent info. In addition, I'll urge you to come early:

• Doors open at 8pm and we'll be spinning the new Derek Trucks album (releasing 1/13) to get the party warmed up.
  
• In addition, there will be 3 Sixpoint beers (Sweet Action, Brownstone, Apollo Wheat) to be specific) on tap for $4 each from 8-10, so get to that bar early and often.
  
• Finally, we can confirm that Danjaboots -- i.e. Scott Metzger & Joe Russo -- will be giving us a rare appearance to open the show at 8:45... you won't want to miss their countried-up set of tunes about drinkin', fightin' and f#$%in'.

That's all in addition to the full slate of music, freaks and fun... here's that info again:
