Activate!Activate! March 12 – March 19

Let's get this Fund Drive started! Tonight, I'm going to preview the Fund Drive Kickoff Show featuring the Milkstains (pictured), the Trillions, Tungs, and Dave Watkins, plus I have songs from Dogs on Main Street who have a CD Release show, Alison Self who's back in town to celebrate her birthday, and White Laces who are about to head out on tour. I also have tickets to give away to see Drive-By Truckers and Punch Brothers, both at The National, and mewithoutyou at the Canal Club!
