Well, it’s all over but the crying. Nothing more to do but set up some stages, plug in some cords and play some music. The Thing is Saturday and we can’t stress how much we hope you come out. We are 99.9999999 percent sure that it will be the final-ever concert at 200 East, which marks the end of a very particular moment in time for at least some of us. Rozwell Kid, whose video for “Unmacho” is seen above, will headline that very venue. Also: Please try to head around town to support these great local musicians who will be spread throughout the city. They deserve your attention (times a million) and the hope is that maybe you fall in love with a band or two you had never previously heard of and the next time you see its name pop up in the future, you check them out, wherever that might be. Tickets are still available. We’d love to see faces we haven’t seen in a long time come back out to send this tiny pop-up concert space off in fashion. A lot of memories. A lot of sweat. A lot of stuff. Take note of some last minute changes in schedule, friends. Come rock. Come roll. Be good.
