Cafe Nine Tonight

Over the next two weeks, there are going to be plenty of really great shows over at Cafe Nine, but I think I might be looking forward to Kelley Stoltz more than anything. The singer/songwriter performs at the State Street venue tonight, so make sure to head over.

Stoltz is a Sub Pop artist, which you know is a good thing. He makes garagey rock that's full of poppy surprises. I like him a lot. OK?
In other news, it's Tuesday, which means we are one day closer to Lou Diamond Phillips calling New Haven home for a few days. Let's all camp out at the Omni, where he's probably staying, until we catch a glimpse. I want to catch a glimpse!

I've seen the Register's Sunday piece on His Majesty, and Play mag's expose...yet none have that Ferrucci appreciation for all things Lou.

Perhaps you can entice him into conversation with a couple of thimbles full of that new Starbucks brew...

Here's a cool little gem I thought you might be interested in...


The Housing Works Bookstore Café presents
Live From Home:
Freedy Johnston
Dawn Landes
The Jones Street Boys
Friday, April 18, 2008 at 7:30 PM

Acclaimed singer-songwriter Freedy Johnston will headline an eclectic musical evening, with Dawn Landes performing her Kentucky influenced indie-pop, and The Jones Street Boys’ unique bluegrass-rock musical styling.

The Housing Works Bookstore Cafe is located at 126 Crosby Street (one block east of Broadway between Houston and Prince) in NYC. Tickets are only $20.

I've been a Freedy fanatic forever, and Dawn Landes is pretty great too. I can't imagine this being a bad time, even if I don't exactly know who the Jones Street Boys are.

According to the site, you can pick up beer, wine and food in the cafe, and that 100% of the profits go to Housing Works, a non-profit organization that provides housing, health care, job training and many other services for homeless New Yorkers living with HIV and AIDS.

So - how can you go wrong? A terrific show that's supporting a very worthy cause! I'm just wondering how I can skip out of work early that day without the boss noticing...
