AB(e)DUCTED Art Show Announced

Hey, Abe Babies!

I don’t need to remind you that Foz the Hook is the only comedy band that is officially recommended by Abraham Lincoln, the Sixteenth President of the United States.  We discussed this some time ago with the lovely ladies at Re:COM Mag.

There are a number of factors this endorsement addresses.   These are important, so listen carefully.  First, if you do like Foz the Hook, and our album Gin-Soaked Yankee and Other Disgraces you are on the right side of history and your descendants will remember you as a Hero of the Republic.  Second, if you don’t like Foz the Hook then you are for the institution of human chattel slavery.  We’re not judging.  Make your own choices.

Next, we all remember that last December The Master Thief struck at Cole’s Bar and purloined the famous black velvet “Rivera” Lincoln (Seen here in one of the few surviving pictures).  This has broken hearts all over Logan Square, and even caused some comics to question the Meaning of Life.  In order to head-off this counter-productive streak of self-evaluation Tracy Kostenbader and the good folks at AnySquared arts cooperative are sponsoring a show:

The Honest Abe Art Show opens on Sunday, March 25 at Cole’s.  Check out the AnySquared events page for all of the details.  The most important thing to remember is that FtH is preparing an Abe-centric set list of songs that were Abraham Lincoln’s favorite songs, including Stephen Foster’s Beautiful Dreamer, Jonathan Richman’s Pablo Picasso, and the original 19^th Century arrangement of Vibrating Chicken Stomp.  So mark your calendar for March 25,  Be at Cole’s that night as a new Abe is selected and crowned.

Until then, be at the Cole’s Comedy Open Mic each Wednesday night at 9:00 to see FtH and your other friends drive you out of your mind.
