From the Ashes of Wacky's Comes the Limelight

Funny, I was just reading this over at mysanantonio.com:

The Swindles, Rick Broussard and Two Hoots & A Holler
The Limelight —Snowbyrd's Chris Lutz wrote of the space on North St. Mary's Street, "limelight = tacoland meets casbeers." And it's looking as if the bookings at the Limelight are a mixture of Taco Land and Casbeers. Broussard and his Two Hoots will open with their roots rock/country and energy. The Swindles follow with San Antonio rock. Saturday, it's Snowbyrd, Fluffer's Union and the Farcrys for the Taco Land side of the weekend.


Then I got this e-mail from The Swindles:

The Swindles + Two Hoots And A Holler on Friday night!
It's true, the Strip is raising it's ugly head once more with a new music venue. It's called the Limelite and it is located at 2718 N. St. Marys St. right where Wacky's used to be. Last time I played in this location was over 15 years ago for the final Radsoles show! Weird, talk about going in circles! Anywhoooo.. We are gonna start as soon as Paul gets back from celebrating his birthday with Willie Nelson at the Rodeo, which should be around 11:30. Get there early anyway because the night starts off with a world class entertainer!

That guy below here is Rick Broussard, the star of Two Hoots And A Holler fame. Hailing from the humble town of Lake Mqueeney, Rick has traveled the world, made and lost fortunes and amassed a cache of friends and fans in the process. We are fortunate to announce that Rick and his crack team of musicians will start the evening this Friday around 9:45 and will proceed to give the Limelight it's first true rock-n- roll flight test.
