Greetings from Captain Mike and a Sea King Plug!

Well, Captain Mike is off to sea once again but wanted to relay a big hello to the Muffin folk… Mike writes:

We had a great time playing at the Muffin!!! Those muffineers who simply cannot face another day without a dose of the SeaKings' Blues can go to www.cdbaby.com/captainmikeatsk to purchase our latest creation "I send the Cash to my Baby" for the measly price of 12.97, or for about $9 if they buy more than 1 copy - what a deal!!!!

By the way Mike, cheers to ALL the Kings and what a memorable performance it was! Thanks for coming out and keep us posted on upcoming events.

This is the last weekend (of 2) to check out drawings by the legendary Paul Purcell (aka Paul Pot), right in his own studio!


This Saturday and Sunday (6/9 & 10) between 11AM and 6PM, Paul’s abode will be open to view his recent (and perhaps not so recent) works.


Wouldn’t it be cool if everyone showed up at once! Just kidding! But hey there is an opportunity to get together with Paul and the CLAMS, hot off their Muffin Victory Tour at the Stork Club this Sunday…


As Paul Sez:

Get a real workout and greasy buffalo wings at the Festival Of Fitness BBQ at the Stork Club Sunday, June 10.


Doors open at 2. Music Starts at 3. Clams about 6 or so.


One last thing ... MUFFIN DECOMPRESSION (it's a concept, not a band) at the Miz tonight (6/6) at 8PM!!! Surprise Guest Appearance!
