This will also be Nonagon show #202. I was really hoping it would be exactly 200 shows on the 20th anniversary, but, alas, the math didn’t quite work out.

There is also a third mystery band on the bill who will be announced the week before. If you see any of us in person, we’ll gladly tell you who it is. They’ve just got an embargo on publicly advertising any Chicago shows because of a previous engagement. Um, it’s Salvation!

We are also planning on a special Nonagon giveaway to all in attendance. You won’t want to miss this one!

Things of note: Dixie from The Body Futures joined Maple Stave for a couple songs. There was a car crash just a few yards behind us as we drove back to the practice space and, Maple Stave being the heroes they are, stopped to offer help. I was going to post a photo, but, now that I think about, that seemed kinda tasteless and I’ll let you rely on your imaginations 🌈.
