Make sure you bring your dancin' shoes to the station at 7 pm. There will be prizes and other sweet stuff from Universal Music Group given away.

Jonny Lives! will be performing around 11 AM, followed by an interview; Alexakis will be performing and interviewed closer to 12:30 PM. Everclear and Jonny Lives! will be playing Friday night at the Santa Fe Cafe in College Park that night.
