"Even the best laid plans of mice and men..." and might I add to the Bard of Ayrshire's quotations "...and interplanetary spokesmen, often go awry."  It seems communication even in the digital age is only as good as the soft handshake, side glance and a slow nod.  Many promotional packages later, many club owners have not listened to the fine and inventive content contained therein.  Having called, e-mailed, visited, many an area club supposedly known for "cutting edge and progressive entertainment", it would appear many really just want watered-down covers of predictable hits or some stand-in for the stylistic flaveur-du-joure.  Prove me wrong Central New York!!  or beam me up, Colonel Cosmos!! 

Anyways,  kudos to Candid who offered us an opening gig at Mac's Bad Art Bar in Mattydale as mentioned in the Vital Signs and Signals and Impending Visitations pages. Unfortunately, Mike Spadaro from Candid was given the uneasy task of breaking the news that that gig (May 30th) would likely be their last due to personnel issues and that they decided to give the slot to long-time friends 12am as a last hurrah of those who have been with them.  Several grumbles and groans later, we determined to grok the circumstance - after all, Mike left off the e-mail with a "Best of luck to the Cosmic Elvis Entities"  Well, cool.  Best of luck to the Candid folks! 

So our planetary plunder via live gigs has been slowed to a crawl, but we carry on - undaunted, laughing in the face of the fickle fates!!!... we'll see you at Funk-n-Waffles on the SU hill June 20th at 9:00!!  Hey, there's always Mato-Fest(?!)
