closed for bid'ness

sara mckinnon and i were scheduled to play at a coffee shop recently. when i called to confirm two days before the gig, they told me they were closed - as in out of business.

i was talking to another local shop owner about it later the same day. and it was like a mellow silence hit us all. as if we'd taken the hit too.

nobody likes to see a brother get shot down; especially when it's close to home. one more reason to despise the corporate conglomerate - the man, keepin' us down.

it made me sad to not see any comments. unfortunately no one has a witty comment for you. i also hate evil corporate coffee shops maybe we should get together and talk over a cup of joe at some mom and pop shop.
