Hi Everyone,

The shows continue on. Starting immediately the new Guest Host for all Thursday shows at GRAND CENTRAL BAR will be SEÑOR BAGHDADDIO himself, KENN ROWELL. He will also be helping me with the bookings. MARY BETH (the designer of the flyers I'm using for the bands that are part of the FRANK WOOD presents tours) will also be helping with the bookings.

KAREN CURIOUS will be the Guest Host on Sundays at OTTO's SHRUNKEN HEAD when she returns with her band, THE NEW PROFESSIONALS, from her tour of the East Coast of the USA. Speaking of which, THE NEW PROFESSIONALS are currently headed south to brave the hurricane. They are scheduled to headline some shows that are part of MTV's Video Music Awards in SOUTH BEACH this weekend. Rock'n'Roll will not be stopped by Mother Nature. WE MUST ROCK!

NOVA CLUTCH blew away the crowds at all of their shows while they were down south. The people down here are loving NYC style Rock'n'Roll. They can't get enough.

Also this weekend SLUNT will be in South Florida. I had nothing to do with their tour, but it will be nice to see them again. Who knows, they may hook up with THE NEW PROFESSIONALS and do a show. After all, KAREN was once the bass player for ABBY's band.

Coming up this week at GRAND CENTRAL will be ERIC BRENDO from the band DOWNTOWN, along with 3 other acts.

On Sunday at OTTO's BIG ED returns to NYC from Conn. with friends STOLEN CHERRY and others.

Let me not forget that on Friday JOHN LAW's new band THE X's will be playing at CONTINENTAL along with EROCKTICA and others.

So, go out and enjoy some live Rock'n'Roll and support your favorite bands.

I'm already starting to plan THE 6 DAYS OF WOOD. That will be in November to celebrate my 50th birthday. Starting on 11/8 at the C-NOTE, it will continue on 11/9 at DON HILL's, 11/10 at TRASH, 11/11 (my birthday) at CONTINENTAL with THE X's and SEA MONSTER already confirmed. Then it will wind down with 11/12 at GRAND CENTRAL and, of course, 11/13 at OTTO's. I've scaled it down this year so that we can make it much more enjoyable (plus I'm getting old - HA!).

Well that's it for now. Check the calendar for upcoming shows.

Take care,

WOOD
