Greatest Three-Minute Rock 'n' Roll Story Ever

My buddy Adam Swinbourne, who is the evil mastermind behind lots of great artwork, including tons of shit over the years for the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, and this little gem (guess who?) -


- just informed me that Eric Davidson (founding member of the New Bomb Turks) is going to be participating in an evening called, "The Greatest Three-Minute Rock 'n' Roll Story Ever" at Matchless bar in Greenpoint (Brooklyn, NY). According to Eric's Facebook page (there is no info on it that I can find on the Matchless website):
"Hey Brooklyners, I've been asked to wax rhapsodic at this event, so come on down... Greatest Three-Minute Rock 'n' Roll Story Ever. Writers, rockers, and raconteurs telling three-minute stories about the best rock 'n' roll shows ever. Thursday, Feb. 11th, 8pm @ Bar Matchless 557 Manhattan Ave. Greenpoint"
Sounds like an evening worth attending. Here's some more information from the JDub Records website...
