Knucklehead wrapped with a great turnout during all of the shows. This is still one of my favorite shows to date. Robert (the author) is currently finishing up his next full length which we are targeting to open in March…I think.
House Progress: we had just painted the bathroom, I just got my vanity back and our room was still pretty bare, bought our washer and dryer, and our pipes froze (but luckily didn’t burst or anything).
The Dastardly Do Nothings and The Jacuzzi Boys played in our store
