Hey there,
Just wanted to give a shout out about tonight. My friend Brandon and I will be joined by Alex Booth, who used to make regular appearances at the old Panic night at the now defunct Metro Cafe.
We'll start spinning around 10:30 and be going until 3am. Great drinks, cool people and a perfectly chill vibe---what more could you ask for of a Friday evening? Oh yeah---killer tunes! And it's free all night, but you gotta be 21...
Here's the essential info:
