Hi Folks,

After a dry spell for events and a hectic month at work, here's last minute idea to get the summer started off right.

The Austin Lounge Lizards at the Fr?

For something completely different, and at the spur of the moment, come on out this Sunday the 13th, and hear the Austin Lounge Lizards play live at the Freight & Salvage Coffeehouse. They are a satirical, bluegrass (loosely speaking) band from where else, but Austin, Texas. Their stuff is highly funny and often political. If you believed that Pink Floyd's Brain Damage wouldn't sound good as a bluegrass cover, then this is your chance to hear different.

For information about the show, and to learn more about the Lizards, check out the event page at the Freight and Salvage. The page also has a link where you can also buy tickets in advance and they have a video of their latest song 'Too Big to Fail'.

Tickets are $20.50 in advance and $21.50 at the door.

Information about parking and directions can be found here. The Downtown Berkeley BART station is one block away too.
