Hi All,

Well it's SHOWTIME! That's right, this SATURDAY, JULY 26 , THE CAT BAR - upstairs room of the PUSSYCAT LOUNGE (two blocks below Ground Zero at 96 Greenwich st, near the corner of Rector st. The 1 & 9 train stops right in front!) will open at 8pm and the party begins for OPENING NITE of "FRANK WOOD presents."

This Venue has a BRAND NEW sound system (which we tested the other nite), along with a new backline (Marshall, Kustom, Fender, Mesa-Boogie and Imperial components). Damn, he even bought 2 guitars to have on hand , just in case we need them. And unlike some of the other venues around (I said some, not all - Thank God), this owner is customer-friendly. He appreciates his patrons and is trying to make everything perfect, so that noone leaves with a bad taste.

Speaking of taste, did I mention the place has a full kitchen. There will be FREE snacks and goodies. Oh yeah , There will be FREE BEER from 10pm to midnite along with drink specials.

The Line-up will be:

KATE RUBY DJ'ing to start the evening, and she'll be there all nite.

BLEND ENGINE, led by drum-diving lead singer KAT, will start the live rockin' around 10pm.

This will probably not be one of my precision-time shows cause I'm still trying to find some worthy surprises (Guest bands, dancers, whatever?!?!)

TEMPTRESS will turn the place upside down, and then The DROSSELLS will follow that, leading up to the OUTRAGEOUS antics of NACHI.

Now you all know TEMPTRESS, so how can you get MORE outrageous than that? - NACHI will show you!

If you want to get on the list, just contact me here , (before 6pm on Saturday), and you'll be on it. (The list is 2 pages long already.)

This will be the FIRST of many wild Saturdays I have coming up here.

If you're out of town, or bed-ridden, you can watch us having fun at: www.pussycatloungenyc.com That's right! We'll be streaming LIVE VIDEO from the CAT BAR all nite long!

Why do I do so many shows? Because IT's NEW YORK CITY and there are a lot of people out there that need to be entertained and I'm just trying to help.

"Then HE commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry; for that shall abide with him of his labor the days of his life, which GOD giveth him under the sun."
- Ecclesiastes 8:15

I'll try to remember most of this week and let you know more next week.DON'T FORGET!
