Sweet, I live a block away from Rogan, and I've yet to go. Seems like I'll be making my first visit tomorrow.

This. Is. So. Fucking. Weird.

The trajectory this band has taken is seriously mind-bending.

I might swing by as well, this is tempting me. Holla.

the only reason to go to this would be to kick rogan in the neck but i'm sure there will be enough old-school degenerates there to do that anyway.
