REMINDER: Canasta Headlines Mayne Stage Tomorrow (Sat. 5/3)!

(sent on 2014-05-02)

We just wanted to take a moment to remind everyone...
Not just about our show this Saturday, but about rock n' roll shows in general...
And how alive they can make you feel...
How it feels like to throw caution to the wind and say:
"I'm casting aside all of my responsibilities as a professional / student / parent / friend / elected official.
This is Saturday night and Monday is still million miles away, so I'm gonna make this one count.
I'll rent and drive a stretch rickshaw, gathering up tourists and grafitti artists en route to the club,
make an entrance like P. Diddy, hoisting a bottle of Dom-P in each hand and insisting on unrequested autographs,
punch out a bouncer, kiss the sound engineer, thumb-wrestle the merch guy and tip the bartenders in riddles,
buy shots for all the fellas, cheese sticks for all the ladies and a sinfully decadent tiramisu for myself,
tear off my street clothes in one swift motion to reveal a regulation fencing uniform and leap onto the stage,
snatch all five mics and scream 'Chicago Slow Dooooown' into the lot of them until my lungs bleed and the crowd riots,
hijack the DJ booth, make a dedication to 'puppet dictators everywhere' and send folks home to the sound of Air Supply,
empty all the fire extinguishers, steal the porcelain top off a toilet and exit the venue through a plate glass window,
then finally pass out in the alley, with nothing but an old Reader for a blanket and a stray cat for a pillow...
That's what my Saturday night is going to look like. I'd better get started..."
Is it all coming back to you now? Good. Let's all make magic together.
