Come one, come all!!!

I hope I’m not overstepping any bounds, stepping on any toes, or violating any copyrights, but I wanted to put this notice out to anyone in the Springpatch area who isn’t already aware.

Courtesy of Unpainted Huffhines, the inside source for all things Silly Joel and, quite frankly, all things cool:

A Public Notice to the Fine Blog Folks of Springfield,

I hereby issue an invitation to each of you to join in the celebration of Billy Joel’s 59th birthday with:

THE SILLY BILLY BIRTHDAY BASH with SILLY JOEL, Springfield’s No. 1 Billy Joel Cover Band
A free-admission event at 10:30 p.m. Friday, the Pizza Machine, 107 W. Cook St., inside the Vinegar Hill Mall.

Some of you know what Silly Joel is. For the uninitiated, know that it is, as billed, Springfield’s No. 1 Billy Joel Cover Band. Competitors are invited to come one and come all, but everyone knows we just may be the lunatics you’re looking for.

To honor Billy Joel’s birthday, this band will perform a selection of his greatest hits. (Let’s put it this way. Whether in person or just electronically, you know the drummer.) Both Silly Joel and Billy Joel would be honored if you’d all put on your birthday suits and join Captain Jack, Virginia, Downeaster Alexa, Mr. Alan Towne, Mr. Cacciatore and some very, very special guests for this special event.

Admission is FREE, as is a certain amount of pizza and soda provided by Sprint, the concert’s sponsor. Cash bar will be available, along with Silly Joel T-shirts - certain to be the summer’s hottest fashion.

Feel free to invite anyone else you think might enjoy the show. The more the merrier.

And, because I know you’re all Web-curious, learn more about, hear and/or see us at the following:

Again with the basic details
Silly Billy Birthday Bash, 10:30 p.m. Friday, the Pizza Machine, 107 W. Cook St., inside the Vinegar Hill Mall
Did I mention in boldface that this whole thing is FREE?

I hope to see you all there, and for those of you I’ve not met in person, join me for a cocktail after the show. In the words of Billy Joel, it’s better than drinkin’ alone.

Mr. Cacciatore

I cut-and-pasted the above notice, which I received by having the great fortune of being at least on the fringe of Mr. Cacciatore’s Inner {email} Circle, simply because I wanted to make sure I got all the details correct.

So come out this Friday night, May 9, and check out the awesomest Billy Joel tribute band in this community or any other. See you there!
