Free at Noon Concert Jan 2nd

Free at noon is hosting a concert at the World Cafe Jan 2nd.

This is my first chance to go to a free at noon concert since I'll be on vacation.

I've already:

1) RSVP'd for myself, Marci and Jeff.
2) used my %80 off coupon code (santa) at restaurant.com and bought gift certificates for lunch at World Cafe and dinner at Zhi-Wei-Guan Dim Sum

Unfortunately, if Jeff is scheduled for work, I may end up going alone. This would suck since it would be a great day for him.

If anyone else is interested, they were still taking reservations for the concert and the %80 off is good through tomorrow.

My only complaint is that restaurant.com appears to have a bug on their checkout page that makes the javascript 'activate coupon' button invalid. I have to use **ing Internet Explorer.

The band cites Innocence Mission, Elliot Smith, and Bjork as some of their major influences.
The band cites Lancaster PA-based Innocence Mission, a band I saw 14 times in 1989, as their top major influence?

Intrigued

Well if Jeff ends up working that day, I have an extra ticket. Two extra tickets, since I reserved for myself and a guest (max 2 per reservation) and I made a reservation for my wife in her name. If Jeff has to work, she has to pick him up from work.

I told her that nothing short of a blizzard is going to keep me from getting out of the house on my day off.

It looks to be a short concert, but it's free music and cheap food.

Innocence Mission

I love the album Glow. Which, Wikipedia tells me was produced by Dennis Herring, who also produced Key Lime Pie for Camper Van Beethoven.

What time do you think you'll be having dinner? If it's not too early, I might be able to meet you.
