NOTICE:
Due to a real mix-up with the club's license, the 55 Bar
is prohibited from serving alcohol for about two weeks. This
will impact this Saturday's (March 8th) gig. Only non-alcoholic
beverages will be served. Oh well, stuff happens. We'll still
be there swingin'. There are two bars right next door! |
