I am so deeply ashamed that I will be unable to make it to Key West for what promises to be unprecedented bad-ass-ness, produced by some of my favorite people on the scene, Tatah Dujour, Marky Peirson (both of Key West), and our local lovely, Jen Gapay.  Plus, I’ve never been to Key West and when I met Marky Pierson at the Slip he made it sound positively inscrutable.  Plus, I bet it’s warm there.  But as I keep sayin’ like a CD player stuck on repeat, soon as someone starts paying me for my trouble, the easier it’ll be for me to cover every scene I’m invited to.  Well, that’s just J.D. singin’ the blues.  As for the rest of you, if you have the means, I strongly recommend it.  Drop by and check it out.
