CentaurPalooza 2014


Well it's time for our annual use of Google's fantastic Blogger! While we do have a great deal to say, we seldom find time to blog. It has, in fact, been our new year's resolution for 3 years running to blog more frequently! That said, I would like to present you with the final and official lineup for the 2014 Blacktop Blowout that shall henceforth be referred to as... Wait for it...

CENTAURPALOOZA 2014

But first, here are the rules and regulations:
1. All of the shows are free!
2. Parking lot shows are B.Y.O.B. (but I would ask that you not B. too much of Y.O.B. as these shows are all ages and family friendly! And NO, you can't B.Y.O.B. to Katie's.
3. No Smoking in the parking lot during Centaurpalooza - that includes this vaping thing that I see all the kids doing! (see the all ages family friendly notice in #2)
4. Don't forget to tip the Katie's bartenders and say thanks to the bands and the Centaur Staff (Do I need to remind you again that this is free?!)

OK, let's get to it. Now the bands!
