Hunter S. Thompson's birthday is this Friday and Ron Whitehead and Southside are celebrating by performing some of Hunter's favorite songs. In addition, Southside will be playing some originals from their new album, 'Southside Lounge' (an excellent discs if I do say so myself!) The free in-store concert at Ear X-tacy records is this Friday the 18th at 7pm.
The following Thursday (July 24th) Southside will also play a book release show at Carmichael's Bookstore on Frankfort Ave. from 6-9pm. William McKeen will also be reading from and signing his new Hunter bio, OUTLAW JOURNALIST: The Life and Times of Hunter S. Thompson.

I'm sorry, but Ron Whitehead = bleah. I mean, I've known famous people. Does that make me famous? Can I exploit those relationships for the rest of my days? That'd be awesome. 'k thanks.
