Hi--Pulling up this topic from a few weeks ago to announce that Lazy Lester
is alive, well, and will be headlining the Adams Ave. Street Festival this
coming weekend in San Diego. Also appearing at the FREE festival will be The
Power-Chords and Kite Flying Society. I'll come back with the show times as
soon as they are made available.
