It wasn't strictly Quake City repertiore, but it sure was fun. This Friday, 5:30-7PM we are kicking off the 2025 sidewalk jam season at The Well, our favorite local hang, right down the street! their sidewalk is a lot less slopey than ours, there is a BAR right there, and they will make you the best fried chicken sandwich you can imagine if you want!
