"Should we talk about the weather?"

To the astute observer, it may be apparent that whenever the Subsidies plan a show, the likelihood of a severe weather situation on that date increases 10 fold.

A few examples:

• Hurrican Katrina - Yes we were there playing the New Orleans Jazz festival.


• The Great Tangshan Earthquake of 1976 - It's true, one can play Jesse's Girl on the Pipa.


• The 3,200 BC Biblical Flood from the Old Testament - We, of course, had scheduled a "cruise ship gig" on Noah's Arc. Sounded fun at the time.

Some (Tina) even attest that Subsidies gigs are the root cause of global warming!

Well, look out your window and you'll see today is no different. We're planning a little outdoor acoustic happy hour tonight (5-8pm) at the Eagle Street Grille in St. Paul across from the Xcel Center. Naturally, it may be raining frogs by the time 5pm rolls around. If so, don't fret. We'll still be rockin' out - acoustic style - inside near the safety of the bar. See ya tonizzle!
