Of course, Thursday is Thanksgiving so we hope we'll see all of you songwriters tonight for Tuesday's "Living Room Live" original music night. Doors at 6PM music starts at 8PM. Tonight's line up will be hosted by the one and only, Kirk Adams.

I'd like to thank last weeks performers, Jennings and Keller, The Michael Weiss Trio and all of the songwriters for making the magic happen yet again. And to everyone who frequents the Hideaway Cafe, thank you... here's wishing you a Happy and safe Thanksgiving. Like we did last year, we're going to have an area up front where you can bring canned goods for someone less fortunate. All canned goods will be delivered to Pinellas Hope. Hideaway Cafe will also be acting as a dropoff for Toys for Tots this year. Any toy donations should be unwrapped and store bought. We'll be going with a "musical toy" theme with our donations if you'd like to follow suit. Thanks again folks.

All for now.... Cheers! John
