Sonnofabitch! If Steve Lawler wasn't in town I'd be all over this

[Abduction]

I wish the sound in that place didn't sound like balls and you had somewhere within oh maybe 10 blocks so you could park

FK5 is always a good show

[2TuffCrew]

the full info will drop later this week - but rest assured, FK5 has hired a sound crew to augment the soundsystem at the Black Cat and they will even reposition the speakers they have - the sound will be booming on the 4th!!

[Abduction]

Good to hear :)
