"Mark your calendars appropriately. Friday, November 28 should now be devoted to "Quiet Reflection, Good Deeds, Nursing Any Applicable Hangover" and Sunday, December 7 is henceforth "Picking Up Unique Music-Related Gifts While Supporting a Good Cause and Sipping Beer."

Yes, the bar will be open during the First Avenue Garage Sale. Praise Hops!

What sorts of tchotchkes, baubles, and assorted keepsakes will be up for grabs and silent auction? Expect to find:

*Official First Avenue and Turf Club merch
*Band merchandise and promo items
*Turf Club items from the recent renovations
*Clown Lounge decor
*Donated items from First Avenue friends and family

Not only will such an act stimulate conversation in your home for the rest of your life, but your purchase will benefit the Twin Cities Music Community Trust, which helps members of the local music community pay their bills when they're unable to work due to unforeseen illnesses or accidents." - Reed Fischer, Gimme Noise
