March 6, 2009 – Justin Parson, Exhibit Opportunities and Free and Legal Downloads

A quick complaint.  Does anyone know why Venango Newspapers won’t use durable URLs?  I forward a lot of their stuff to ex-pats, but the newspaper links are bad after 24 hours.


Congrats to local musician Jesse Lavery!  He’s due to become a dad for the first time anytime now.  Send him a best wishes at his MySpace page. 


Since Jesse’ll be busy handing out cigars, he’s canceled his Brother Bean gig this weekend.  The good news?  Wildly talented Justin Parson has picked up the slack and will appear Saturday at Brother Bean (Brother Bean, 3338 State Rt. 257, Seneca, PA 16346 (map) from 7-9 pm for an all-ages, no cover show.
