CANASTA - Reminder: 3 Outdoor Shows in the Next 8 Days (Sat. 7/10, Sun. 7/11 + Sat. 7/17)!

(sent on 2010-07-09)

Just a quick reminder, loyal listeners...

THREE OUTDOOR SHOWS IN THE NEXT EIGHT DAYS (PLUS ONE IN AUGUST)!
If you're in Chicago and you're outside sometime over the next two weekends, you're bound to catch a Canasta set (or two). Ok, that's not entirely true... It may take a little bit of initiative on your part to stroll on out to one of the places we're playing. But do yourself a favor and don't miss some of the easiest, sunniest and cheapest chances to see Canasta in action... The "Great Performers of Illinois Festival" (tomorrow, 1:30 PM @ Millennium Park's Wrigley Square), "Roscoe Village Burger Fest" (Sun. 7/11, 8:30 PM @ Belmont & Damen) and "Uptown's Windy City RibFest" (Sat. 7/17, 2 PM @ Lawrence & Broadway). Add to those an outdoor, suburban gig in August at the Highwood Evening Gourmet Farmers Market (Wed. 8/4, 5 & 7 PM @ Highwood City Hall) and you've got yourself one heck of a ca-nasty summer. Here come the details...
