sidebar… a music joint?

Because I won one month drinking spree from Sidebar El Pueblo, I have become part of their mailing / SMS list. And through the months, I have been receiving text messages of their new lineup… not of food, but of music.

Tomorrow, at 7PM, you can catch Sitti, Nyoy, JayR, Kyla, MYMP, Jay Durias, Kenjohns and Marcus Davis perform live. I can’t imagine where they will be performing (as the bar is kinda small). But if you’re a fan, they you may want to check out the scene, as the food is great and the booze is the cheapest in town (at 3 beers for 110).
