No. This doesn't belong in the news category. So sue me.

As some of you may know, the band I play in, "The Expressions", is a corporate-sponsored rock and roll band, formed in 2004. We were originally conscripted by our CEO, Barrett Toan, of Express Scripts fame, to perform at conferences put on for our clients. From there, we started performing for various charities, and always for free. (well, we do need to be fed and 'watered') We've helped raise money for The Arthritis Foundation, The United Way, CASA, CHIPS (one of Bonita Cornute's favorites), New City School, and just about anyone else who asked. It's been a lot of hard work, but also a lot of fun. We've had the opportunity to play on Fox2 in the morning (I still have my autographed picture of Pertz), at Mississippi Nights, before it closed, The Key Club in LA, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and the Odium in Cleveland, parks, bars and backyards.

It's time to announce our retirement.

Our last performance will be Friday night, June 1 at the BS Bar and Grill, 10471 St. Charles Rock Road, http://bsbarandgrill.com/. No particular charity event this time, this one's mostly for us. If any of my friends in blogland have the opportunity, come on out and see us one last time.

Yes, this is a shameless plug.
