Happy Clams Appear At Festival of the Breasts, June 15th at the Stork Club

All possible disclaimers apply here. Not sure what this is all about but it sure is a fine poster (I want that font!) and some great bands are appearing including Muffin's own show bustin Happy Clams! Muffin sez attend at your own risk!

The Festival of Breasts was originally conceived as an epic music festival that would take place at The Rack Lodge, in Wyoming's Grand Teton National Park. The bill was going to be filled by bands that had breasts or know somebody who did. Eventually, the idea morphed into a Sunday BBQ at the Stork Club with real and/or fake breasts. even chicken breasts...We will celebrate all things round & soft, like a nice pair of boobs.

Muffin "Post Op" this Wednesday June 11 at the Missouri in Berkeley

Feeling a bit disoriented lately? Can it really be summer already? Vague memories of another Muffin gone by? How did this happen? How did I get here? Well, the truth is that if you wait long enough, everything will pass you by! But now is your opportunity to again touch base with a handful of other brave Muffineers. Hmmm, its all coming back to me now! So it's another unofficial Muffin debrief at the Miz in Berkeley at Paul Pot's open mic on Wednesday June 11. Apparently Paul is buying drinks for anyone who performs a baseball related tune... or perhaps a baseball related joke for those not musically inclined!

So if Muffin owes you some money (or some microphone or guitar stands for that matter), show up at the Miz and chances are good that you might just be able to collect your due. You've had plenty of time to rest up so you don't have any excuses. Plus it's free! And rumor has it that if you bring your Muffin ticket stub, Greg will buy you a drink, no joke required!

Bring out your Muffin photos!
