Sounds like a stellar time that is bound to leave the place sweaty, if you ask me. This will be my first time in Tucson, and I can't think of a better way to spend it. I've seen or heard many of these acts and look forward to finding some new beats. See ya in Mountain Time, friends!

gem and Jam

I'll definitely be heading out to the Jem and Jam. I love the string cheese incident, so I'm guessing I'll like EOTO. Thanks for the heads up!

Re: gem and Jam

Anytime. We try to keep folks as informed as possible, and obviously it's working. EOTO is quite different form Cheese, but nonetheless amazing! Just be sure to come prepared to dance your ass off all night long! See ya there. Cheers.

yay Tuc-son

I am ready for this sweaty weekend of good music. I am sure it will be reminiscent of EOTO's show at the Box Awesome, except after we are drenched with salty sweat beads we can still go outside because it won't be frigid! I'm excited to see how the Rialto sounds, and bring on the rubies,emeralds, and of course diamonds!

Ready!

Hopefully we don't set the fire alarms off there. But if it gets sweaty enough, sure it could happen. Ready for some garnetts, diamonds and booms, stat kitten!
