HI ALL,

After much consideration, I have decided to take an extended vacation from the NYC rock'n'roll scene. I'm headed for Florida for some well-earned and needed vacation. I'll probably be gone for about 6 months. I will make an occasional trip back every once and awhile. In the meantime, JONESY will take over the hosting and booking duties at OTTO's on Sundays with some long distance help from me and local help from PAM the METAL QUEEN (our late nite bartender on Sundays). We will start at 7 PM instead of 6 PM.

As for GRAND CENTRAL BAR on Thursdays, JONESY will take over the hosting there as well and the times will start at 9 PM instead of 8:30 PM. Again I will be assisting by long distance.

I have decided to concentrate on my out of town connections and on spreading the NYC music scene across the country and the rest of the planet. As you know, I have had bands from all over the country, and the world, play at my shows. Now it's time to take NYC to them. I will be booking bands all over the place. It will take some time to set up, but I plan onsetting up some mini-tours for the best bands from NYC.

Before I leave I will be doing some farewell shows.

The first one will be on MARCH 8 at the C-NOTE. As you may have heard, this is another of the many clubs that are about to close soon. Click HERE for the line-up.

My computer is on the blink so I will be posting upcoming news on the front page of my website from now on. In the next 6 weeks I will have some amazing shows as my many friends will be helping celebrate what is the best music scene in the world - NEW YORK CITY. So look for a lot of your favorite bands and a lot of special surprises before my final show in NYC on APRIL 17 at OTTO's.

You have all been very supportive of the scene and I THANK all of you. Hope to see you before I leave.

Take care,

FRANK WOOD
