THIRDSTONE NEWS
Hello All!
THIRDSTONE NEWS: The date for the next ThirdStone show is finally
clarifying a bit....seems I've been saying that for sometime now
haven't I? I promise to have all the details and a real launch date
in the next issue... thanks for all the inquiries. When it does
finally get here, I can promise you it'll be worth the wait. The
show will kick-off in Late November and the location will be
announced soon. There are two additional West Michigan shows
currently in planning and 2 "out-of-town" ones as well. I'll report
more details on all of them soon as well.
Part of the reason for my seemingly continuous rescheduling of the
next show is about to be made clear; just not quite yet! There is
something intriguing that's been demanding of my attention and
resources and that too I can now promise to share with you in the
very next issue.
Okay. Here's the latest news of what I actually CAN tell you is goin'
on around the area...
local news of all sorts:

SATYA - THIRDSTONE CONCERT SERIES TO LAUNCH IN OCTOBER - BRIAN
CUTEAN THIS SATURDAY
Yeah, ThirdStone has again teamed up with Satya Yoga Center in
Saugatuck to put together another fall/winter concert series.
Launching the series this season will be my brother Brian's 14th (or
sometimes referred to as the 3rd "12th annual") annual West Michigan
concert this Saturday evening at Satya. (more info from Michele
directly below). We've got another couple surprises coming up soon
in the series - we'll fill you in soon!
Here's the latest from Michele at Satya:
We are 'extra' excited to welcome back our dear friend Brian Cutean
(QTN) for an evening of jammin', word play and the such on Saturday,
October 17 at 7:30pm. This is the first event in our fall / winter
"Indoor-Barefoot-Picnic-Concert-Series" where you are invited to
pack a picnic basket chock full of all sorts of goodies, bring a
comfy blanket, pillows (heck, wear your pjs!), and lie back and
chill with some good friends and great music. Brian asked that I
make this an all-age show, and keep it at an $8 donation, or
considering the economy, a "what you can afford" type show, so great
big hugs to Brian for his generosity. He is a true yogi.
