2008-12-21: Planks play at the Winter BEERstice

The Creaking Planks’ alter egoes, the Clinking Pints, come through here in musical celebration of some tasty brews that, though they may not quite be our hallowed and vaunted “Schmutzigesocken”, still get the job done. Also, there’s some solstice thing happening — ask a Wiccan.

Doors at 8:30 pm, inexpensive drinks (”$3.25 beers; excellent, high-end scotch for $4.50; coolers for $3.75″) until ~2 am.  Further entertainment (but really, when you have a gaggle of Planks, what more is truly called for?) is suggested as including “the comedic stylings of Richard Lett” and “the gorgeous ring of Jill Binder’s ukelele!”  This all goes down in the rented Jericho Garrison Combined Mess hall at 4050 West 4th Ave.
