For those looking for a weekend of solitude, get over it

Dear Patrons of the Arts:

We haven't been resting on our laurels (they're at the cleaners) and the October Haunting of Bluegrass continues apace.

-- Saturday, we'll be in amongst the pumpkins at the Tierra del Sol Fall Festival (you'll be able to tell us from the pumpkins because somebody will buy them and take them home). For those not haing on every off-key Flaw note, there will also be other acts including a fantastic juggler, and equally fantastic barbecue.* Full details are here. Come on out and buy stuff -- these people do great work and need your money. For a $500 donation, we will stop playing. You may want to take up a collection in your neighborhood.


-- On Sunday we'll be out in Moorpark at the Underwood Family Farms Bluegrass and Old Time Weekend, once again offering a living tableau of What Happens When You Don't Practice. There will be two flawed sets out there, one at the unheard of hour of 10 a.m. and the other at our normal rising hour of 2 p.m. In between will be other, fantastic acts or you can just gather around and watch us argue about who messed up in the first set. (Answer: Banjo player). Details are right here. Hope to see you one last time before you develop musical taste and leave us forever.

-- Many people** have been clamoring for details of our recent stock issue under the (tenderly) holding company of Flawco Inc. The stock, traded under the counter under the symbol PTUI, has been a rock of consistency in the volatile storm that is the current stock market, trading unchanged at $0.00. We believe this reflects the true worth of the company, and therefore are quite happy. Stock certificates will be available both at Tierra del Sol and Moorpark, with our business plan printed on the back of the certificates.

Billionaire Warren Buffett, whose motto is "be greedy when others are fearful; fearful when others are greedy" has lately been extolling stock purchases as a rare bargain. However, he has somehow neglected to include Flawco among his holdings.*** We're assuming it's a clerical error.



*However, juggling barbecue=bad idea
**By which we mean nobody
***Flawco motto: "Would you like fries with that?"
