L.I.C. QNS NYC is overrun with Michigan singer-songwriters this weekend, and that's not a bad thing.

Also, http://www.LICpop.com is finally up and running and will be updated a few times a week with show previews, photos, video, and events calendar, links, and heaven knows what else. Oh, and be our friend over on YerSpace: http://www.myspace.com/licpop

See you at the bar,
BZ
