ECNY Nominee (?!) and Free Show June 9th!

I figure it's time for the monthly announcement and show plugs. And a pat on the back to me - apparently I was nominated for an ECNY award...what?! I didn't even write my name in. Well thank you to the mystery Joe (or Jane) who did that. I HIGHLY doubt I'll win but either way I appreciate the support.

Anyway, my friend Justin Murray and I run a really awesome show in Park Slope. The last show was packed out and talked about on the interwebs: See the following link. This show promises to be just as heavy hitting!
