[FlyingBrickAnnouncements] Help organizing this show? [Fwd: Booking help for Thorn & Shout (members of Squinch Owl) on October 16th?]

[Alison]

They initially contacted me about the show but that is only a few days
before I leave for tour so I'm gonna be running around like a chicken with
my head cut off. if anyone can help them they are awesome and fun people!

Maybe someone with contacts at the yerb or bainbridge house could forward
them there? idk. wish i could help but i really cant.
