THIRDSTONE NEWS & NOTES - INDIAN SUMMER COMIN'??

THIRDSTONE NEWS AND NOTES:

THIRDSTONE NEWSLETTER LATEST ISSUE -

Hello All!

THIRDSTONE NEWS: The date for the next ThirdStone show is finally clarifying a bit....seems I've been saying that for sometime now haven't I? I promise to have all the details and a real launch date in the next issue... thanks for all the inquiries. When it does finally get here, I can promise you it'll be worth the wait. The show will kick-off in Late November and the location will be announced soon. There are two additional West Michigan shows currently in planning and 2 "out-of-town" ones as well. I'll report more details on all of them soon as well.

Part of the reason for my seemingly continuous rescheduling of the next show is about to be made clear; just not quite yet! There is something intriguing that's been demanding of my attention and resources and that too I can now promise to share with you in the very next issue.

Okay. Here's the latest news of what I actually CAN tell you is goin' on around the area...

local news of all sorts:

SATYA - THIRDSTONE CONCERT SERIES TO LAUNCH IN OCTOBER - BRIAN CUTEAN THIS SATURDAY

Yeah, ThirdStone has again teamed up with Satya Yoga Center in Saugatuck to put together another fall/winter concert series. Launching the series this season will be my brother Brian's 14th (or sometimes referred to as the 3rd "12th annual") annual West Michigan concert this Saturday evening at Satya. (more info from Michele directly below). We've got another couple surprises coming up soon in the series - we'll fill you in soon!

Here's the latest from Michele at Satya:

We are 'extra' excited to welcome back our dear friend Brian Cutean (QTN) for an evening of jammin', word play and the such on Saturday, October 17 at 7:30pm. This is the first event in our fall / winter "Indoor-Barefoot-Picnic-Concert-Series" where you are invited to pack a picnic basket chock full of all sorts of goodies, bring a comfy blanket, pillows (heck, wear your pjs!), and lie back and chill with some good friends and great music. Brian asked that I make this an all-age show, and keep it at an $8 donation, or considering the economy, a "what you can afford" type show, so great big hugs to Brian for his generosity. He is a true yogi.
