in which the illicitizen gets unpleasant surprise...

(While I am stuck in flood caused Charlotte traffic I might as well update the blog...I am on the bus btw. Fear not metrolina commuters.)
So in true illi fashion we arrived tres early at the Skylight exchange/Nightlight club in Chapel Hill thursday (8/21).But to our surprise, dismay, chagrin etc... The Skylight portion of the venue (bookstore) was in the process of being disassembled. Nail-y boards and disgruntled baby boomers were abound. In short, the show was obviously Not happening there that night.
Fortunately we ran into the other band slated to perform that night (the Shudders) and they had driven all the way from Arlington to get their rock on. While Steve and I walked back to drop the news on Maria (yipe!), Janique Shudders called the Cave and got them to agree to let us play an early show. Night-saved.Big thanks to The Shudders, Michelle and Matt V from the Cave; and Beloved Binge (for riding from Durham and tracking us down despite us having already played)...I willadd links when I get to a proper keyboard.
