S\/he doesn&#8217;t even have headphones on!&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Well, see, New Year&#8217;s Eve is gone, but you still need to honor your New Year&#8217;s resolutions to get out more, and the Worthless Son-in-Laws are happy to help you get out by playing a show this Saturday, January 28th, at the Boone Saloon. \u00a0You should also be able to kill two birds with one stone by concurrently fulfilling one of your other resolutions (the one about drinking more beer). \u00a0We will be splitting the bill with up-and-coming local favorites the Major Sevens.<\/p>\n<p>If you also made resolutions about playing more pool, eating more seasoned fries, trying to watch more sports in rock bars, or just doing more smiling and nodding while pretending you just heard what your friend said, we&#8217;ve got you covered for that, too! \u00a0And that one about exercising more? \u00a0Even if you only dance during the slow songs, we&#8217;ll let you count it as your exercise for the day. \u00a0O.k, the week, then.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Dave Brewer of Possum Jenkins fame will be manning the drums. \u00a0(By the way, Possum Jenkins have just released an excellent new album called Carolinacana, which you should definitely check out&#8211;see possumjenkinsband.com.)<\/p>\n<p>It is most likely that we will play first, around 10:30 or so, and that the Major Sevens will play after us. \u00a0Please tell your friends, invite your friends, and beg your friends to come. \u00a0It will make them feel loved.<\/p>\n<p>Hope to see you there.<\/p>\n<p>Love,<br \/>\nThe Worthless Son-in-Laws<\/p>\n<p>P.S.
