The band's got some great shows this weekend. Some very good causes and both
have really good raffle prizes. Hope you can join MisterB and the new band with
Leo Cates on lead guitar, Cathy B on drums (that's right...drums), and Ed
Estrella on bass. These are shows that you need to come to with an open heart.

Friday - May 29
Anamaria Araya Benefit Concert
Viento y Agua (a great laid-back coffee house)
4007 E. 4th - Long Beach CA
6:30 - 9:30 pm. All ages. $10 donation.

Great entertainment to help raise money for Anamaria's cancer treatment. We're
gonna have some great acts including: Cicco & John Araya, Sean Baumgartner, The
Fallen Stars, Without the Blonde, MisterB & the Band, and our favorite punk
band, the Potential Lunatics. This is an acoustic show so you'll get to see
Cathy B on the cajon.

$10 donation gives you a ticket to win some cool raffle gifts (including some
from the band Slayer). Guaranteed to be a great evening of entertainment and
good feelings. Hope you can make it.


Saturday - May 30 - 1-9 pm
Hep C Aware Long Beach Event
Liquid Lounge (one of our very favorite places to play)

We've been invited by our friend Kelly Z (of Kelly's Lot) to participate in the
