HERE's THE CATCH -- the deej is guest hosting this event with our esteemed friends in music, MARK and RUE. you must have RSVPed prior to the show to be admitted. SO, if you want to get a forwarded copy of their EVITE, please send a note to mr. deej directly, and i will forward one to you. zbarkles at yahoo.com the deej: we can't be cool without you!
