We've thrown a few more items into the raffle.

The title, of course, is a nice way of saying we've got lineup changes, folks. With less than 24 hours to go, the anniversary show lineup fell victim to geometry. Time and space and reality collided as our headliners, Margot & the Nuclear So and So's, realized they were still too far outside of  St. Louis (27.5 hours, to be exact) to be here in time for the show.

Ever the fixers, we sprung into action. There's a great local band called the Upright Animals; they put on one hell of a show. With less than 24 hours to go, they agreed to close out the night for our fourth anniversary shindig.

We've thrown a few more items into the raffle (been wanting to get a tattoo? some CDs you've been meaning to pick up but don't have the cash?), which means you'll want to bring those wadded-up bills from the pockets of your favorite jeans and throw your hat in the ring. We've also got goodie bags galore (right now, they're spread out all over the office floor), which means there's a good chance you'll go home a winner.

And with our four fabulous bands—One Lone Car, Lorenzo Goetz, Geoff Koch, and now Upright Animals—we guarantee a good time. We're looking forward to spending it with you.

Now if only I could get some sleep... (Too much caffeine; it gets me every time.)
