White Rabbits roundup; also, corrupting the youths

I completely forgot to plug Canasta's two dates with White Rabbits on the blog, but the Empty Bottle sold out on Wednesday before we even got on stage, so you wouldn't have gotten in anyways.

If you've seen me at all since our first date with them on Tuesday, I have already pathetically gushed about how fucking awesome this band is. If not, allow me to let someone else do the gushing for me. Here's a review from the Examiner. (Canasta and White Rabbits' touring mates, the Subjects, aren't reviewed here, so you can think whatever you want about our respective sets.) There are some fan photos of us on the Interwebs, too -- check out this one of us from High Noon in Madison and this one of Steve from White Rabbits at the Bottle.

Next week I start corrupting the youths by turning them into real honest-to-god rock bands. I'll be teaching at School of Rock's summer camp program, which brings the phrase "This one time at band camp" to a whole new, edgier level. I will try to keep the blog up to date with this-one-time-at-band-camp stories.
