NJ: Shows in New Brunswick

just passing this along -- always liked seeing shows at this house!

okay, here's everything we have coming up at 120 hamilton st., new brunswick, new jersey. you are expected to bring cash to donate to the touring bands at all shows (except for with resistance's free last show.) as you all have probably noticed, gas has gotten really expensive, and a lot of these bands are from far away, making it pretty hard for them to keep touring. $5 isn't a lot to spend a night seeing awesome bands make music.

our shows start on time. if you show up fashionably late, you will miss good bands. don't be an idiot.

please be considerate and don't jeopardize the future of shows at our house. please don't hang on or touch the pipes in the basement, don't hang out in the front of our house, don't sit on our neighbors' porches, and definitely don't drink in front of the house. if you smoke in the basement, you're an asshole.

I missed this entire golden age, despite spending many years in NB. CLosest I ever got were shows at Jon Solomon's parents' house.
