Irrational Exuberance


We've recently learned that our upcoming gig on Sunday, Jan. 24, is piling up reservations faster than warts on a teen-age toad, and the Flaw feels the need to make these clarifications:

1. This is the Flaw we're talking about here. We had a rehearsal last night and we think we know a couple of songs all the way through. The rest will be, well, Flawed.
2. Luckily, the incredible Tim May will be there as our special guest, trying his best to save our bacon. That'll be worth $15 right there.
3. If all else fails, Coffee Gallery, at 2029 N. Lake St., in Altadena, has some great coffee and pies.
4. Water may be falling from the sky. Be not afraid.
5. There are no advance ticket sales. If the room's limit is reached, the reservations will go on a waiting list.

If after all this you insist, here's the reservations number:

Reservations/Information: (626) 398-7917.


Harried baristas are not standing by, but will pick up the phone and write your name down on the list.

If you're on the fence about attending the concert, we completely understand and have asked other musicians and luminaries about the Flaw.
