The Useless Critic 2.0

On Wednesday, Dec. 21st (the solstice) the HAPPY PROBLEM will be playing a gig at the TRASH BAR in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York. It will start at 9 p.m. If you bring a coat to donate, as it is a coat drive for the holidays, you WILL save yourself $3, thus getting in for $7. worth it? methinks so.... I mean that $3 can be used towards alcohol and when you are a gig, that is a A+. I'm going to fall asleep in the University of Chicago study lounge. ajekejrkeke
