You've got three chances to go to blowupradio.com and hear the live broadcast of the year's first "guitar pull." This is an event where three singer/songwriters take turns playing tunes on an acoustic guitar. There's also lots of talking, and it's very freeform. Happy Joe does five or six songs and says a bunch of fun stuff, along with songwriters Rob Copeland and Jon. Check it out!

Asbury Lanes is a bowling alley in beautiful Asbury Park, NJ. Seriously, this is an awesome venue with a unique stage, and it's nowhere near the random gunfire.

You can check out their super cool tour poster right here. All ages, doors open at 8PM, $7 cover.

Jack Stock Movie Premier. Okay, it's not actually the premier. The premier happened a few years ago. But the movie will be shown at Buddies Tavern on a huge screen, and musicians will be playing a special tribute concert to Jack Stock after it's over. Happy Joe will be there, and you should be, too. Movie is at 9PM. Big show comes after that.
Buddies Tavern is located at 277 Johnson Lane in Sayreville, NJ. (732) 721-1952

Happy Joe will be at Cafe Improv in Princeton, NJ at 9 PM. Cafe Improv is located at 102 Witherspoon Street. This show is also broadcast on TV30 Local Cable Access.
Cafe Improv is a super cool place. You can really have a good time there. And you need to have a good time, you really do, so COME TO THIS SHOW. In addition to the sweet sounds of Happy Joe, you can hear a little jazz, a little classical, a little Appalacian music. Not from me (duh)—from other people who are also playing. You can also eat in one of the local restaurants and maybe take a class at the local university. Take an easy one—that university looks kind of serious.
