Hi ALL,

The BLANK-FEST VIII was a HUGE success. Over 400 blankets and counting were collected. They will be distributed to the homeless on CHRISTMAS EVE by KEN (BAGHDADDIOS), MARY BETH, JONESY (F.P.TOZ) and myself. If anyone wants to join us, just let me know. We turn this into a fun night for all. Trust me on this, this is a rush up there with any of the myriad drugs and alcohol available out there (I should know). At 3 of my upcoming shows we will still be collecting blankets and warm coats. Bring one or the other (or both) and get a FREE DRINK! That's a better deal than getting in FREE. The shows we'll be doing this at are: Sunday, 12/19 at OTTO'S SHRUNKEN HEAD, Wednesday, 12/22 at PUSSYCAT LOUNGE and Thursday, 12/23 at GRAND CENTRAL BAR. So come on down to one or all of these shows and share some Holiday spirit and do something nice.

This Sunday is OTTO's CHRISTMAS party. Those who were there last year were treated to SYLVAIN SYLVAIN of the NEW YORK DOLLS jamming with MAD JUANA, the FISHERMAN and his vibes, GASS and ANDROID (LOVE PIRATES) and, of course, JONESY (F.P. TOZ). This year who knows what kind of musical surprises SANTA will bring us. You're gonna have to come down and find out for yourself. Check the website gallery for pictures of last year's show.

This Saturday, 12/18 there will be an ALL-AGES show out at PEGGY ONEILL's (in the CONEY ISLAND baseball stadium) featuring THE NERVE and a special rock'n'roll SANTA CLAUS (me - cause I already have the white beard). Come on out and experience CONEY ISLAND in winter, hell it's even healthy for you.

Here are some things to do in the next few days:
