Good news and bad news

Good news and bad news this week. Sarah Blacker's star-crossed weekend will not bring her anywhere near Bridgeport. Instead, we will chat on the phone and listen to some tracks from her new CD. The good news is we've added Commercial Interruption to the lineup on June 12th. If you like Zappa and surf music, you won't want to miss Commercial Interruption.
