CBSBs weekly show at the UW Rathskeller has a break for American Thanksgiving followed shortly by the normal semester break starting mid-December. No word yet on when the band will resume its weekly show at the Rathskeller but mid-January is the likely time. In the meantime, the band returns to the High Noon Saloon for two happy hour shows on the preferred day of Wednesday. Most historians regard the hundreds of Wednesday evenings shows the Cork n Bottle String held at Kens Bar as responsible for changing hump day into the start of the weekend. While the State Historical Society still refuses to commemorate this monumental event, the band feels that these upcoming happy hour shows will go a long way towards finally realizing the importance of this cultural shift.

As always, inquiries and complaints can be directed to us here.

God Bless em,
