SNOTTY SCOTTY & THE MERKETTES??? Aaaargh - it's one of those weeks when I wish I could be in 2 (or more) places at once! But at least some of these gigs are within walking distance of each other, so I'll have to divide my time between them. Dinner & dancing at CAFÉ 322 with MERCY & THE MERKETTES & then after dinner comedy & entertainment with SNOTTY SCOTTY & THE HANKIES down the street at the BUCCANEER are in store for this Saturday! I wonder if I could actually make it to Firefly Bistro for Sunday Brunch with Barry "Big B" Brenner & then go play softball? But, what about Mercy's Jazz show at 322? And guess what? NEXT weekend's even worse! (or is that better?)_______________________________________________________________________________
