4.11.2005 "Communication: Breakdown"

Dear You,

We're pleased to be back at the Wiggle Room for another installment of Grackle Mundy. Tonight we're exploring communication, with special emphasis on the telephone. Many of these songs are about communication: late-night conversations, multiple line phones, skewed perspectives, amateur radio, contacting the dead via séance or prayer and TV transmissions. We'll be using our phones and yours: this will be our second attempt of incorporating live cell phone calls. Buttercup will perform two sets of music with a few new twists: odie on stand up bass and several new songs.

We're hoping for an intimate evening: quiet, smoke-free, dark and hopefully air-conditioned. Also tonight we raffle off odie's truck! Tickets are a mere $5. Buy a Ford F-150 pickup for five bucks!

Love,
Buttercup
