I'll be in the Lafayette area for a few days on either side of New Years. Would like to connect with some folks, put a face to a name, maybe play a little music.
Let me know if any of you are going to be available. I'll be catching a few shows while I'm there too.
I will likely try to catch Geno in Vermillionville for New Year's Eve. Is there something better going on?

Hey 'Holic. I heard that Geno's show at Vermilionville is sold out but you can check on it further. Wayne Toups was scheduled to play at Cowboy's New Year's eve but now I don't see it posted so i don't know what the story is. Lot's of Philly people going down for the Holiday (not us) too.
