    Um, what exactly is purse rock?

  • OriginalCin May 13, 2008

    Yay for Evan Purcell. See everyone there (if I can find a babysitter)!

    Hello Eric and exit133,

    The formal name of the band is The Drug Purse (the word Purse just didn’t get put in bold.)

    Unfortunately, this awesome had to drop from the bill, but that’s the only cancellation from this sweet list.

    I really hope you all can make it because this will be such an excellent way to support local music, a rockin small business, and the community at large.

    I hope to see you all there.

    Sincerely,

    Roxanne (representin’ Love Tacoma)

    “See everyone there (if I can find a babysitter)!”

    No worries…it’s all ages.

    Be sure to come out and meet new people and help out a great cause. Hope to see you all there!
