Hey, you want to meet me in North Carolina at the end of September? I rarely travel for shows any more (I'm just too old, have too many responsibilites, and my wife would kill me), but this show has me at least giving it some consideration:


Charlotte Pop Fest is a multi-day power pop (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_pop) music festival that will celebrate the life of Charles Darwin and science. The year 2009 is the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin's birth (http://www.darwinday.org/), the 150th anniversary of the publication of his book On the Origin of Species, and the Year of Science (http://www.yearofscience2009.org/).
