from Alter Ego:
After a great weekend at two new clubs (Q Bar & WiseGuys), ALTER EGO is back to a couple of familiar places this weekend! Both of the new gigs went very well, and we'll be adding both clubs to our rotation in the near future.
On FRIDAY, NOV. 11, we're up on the Northeast Side at TRIPP'S, 210 E. AVIATION, just off of Pat Booker Road in Universal City. You know, Tripp's ain't the fanciest place in town, but they sure are a friendly bunch, have great drinks and know how to take care of their customers and bands. That is why we look forward to playing there, and it has been a regular stop for us every month seen this band has been together!
On SATURDAY, NOV. 12, we're back at HOOLIGAN'S over at 10855 I-10 NORTH. If your're not sure where that is, it's right next to Ancira Nissan on the north side access road between Wurzbach and Huebner. This place is very nice, with plenty of room, a great staff and really really good food!
Next week, we have a rare weekend off, so we'll finally be getting together to learn some new tunes and hone some of the ones we haven't played in a while. Any suggestions for new tunes? Let me know! After all, YOU'RE the listeners!
