Poster by Joe Newton

We are so goddam psyched to officially announce PETTYFEST '09!!! 

It's coming on September 3rd!!!

This is our second annual PettyFest, which we added last year to compliment our annual DylanFest. In 2008, the inaugural PettyFest performance at Mercury Lounge was such a spectacle that this year we've been upgraded to Manhattan's greatest venue, the Bowery Ballroom!!!

We have an unbelievable line-up of New York musicians and friends who will be singing and playing Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers classics all night!!! This is your chance to get totally drunk and sing along! You will know the words to every single song.

This gig is going to be off the hook, we promise. (You might be amazed at who shows up.)

And we want our faithful S.S. readers to have first dibs.

So click here and get tix before they run out! 

Only $12!

Yes!!!

I don't know if I'd call it a 'mullet,' but I think the amazing guitarist you're referring to is Jason Roberts from Hymns!

Seventeen exclamation points in that post, Austin. Seventeen!!

From BibleStudy.org: "In like manner Seventeen being the seventh of the series (of prime numbers), it partakes of and intensifies the significance of the number seven. ... Contrasted together the significance of these two numbers is clear ... spiritual perfection, plus ordinal perfection, or the perfection of spiritual order."

... Whatever! ...

What I mean is, I seriously adore your blog. Great content, well written. Thank you.
