It's the Last Weekend in August! Music to Close out the Month...


Hello bohemians, come celebrate the close of August by joining us tonight and tomorrow for some amazing musical acts hosted by the virtual Hotel Chelsea. We have none other than the rocking dissonance of Dead Heathers and melodic acoustics of Freestar Tammas coming to you live at the "El Quijote" 6pm and 7pm SLT respectively. On Saturday, August 28th, we have the Chelsea's very own Zo live on stage for you at 5pm SLT, followed by Matt Perreault at 6pm SLT. Please show your support for these amazing performers and tell me what YOU think of them too! That's right bohemians, I love feedback about what you love about our little collective so why not let it be known today! Emails to gwendifference@gmail.com are always welcome, or simply drop me a NOTECARD inworld. I look forward to hearing from you!
