NOTE: I don't very often tell you NOT to go somewhere (well there was that one time... oh yeah and maybe that one other time, but that's 'cause those guys were jerks!) this time it's because essentially Cafe 322 is closed for a private party this Thursday night when New Astroturf is playing. You can still take your chances at the bar, but don't plan on getting a table. I hope they make a ton of dough - the band AND the restaurant! *
