420?

In my mailbox when I came home from my travels, a note from Andy of Strix Vega who is about to hit the road with that “culturally insensitive” band Que La Chinga. Says Andy,“I’m not sure if you got word while you were away, but Que La Chinga apparently played their last local show this past Friday at The Pearl (which turned out to be a surprise to all their fans). There are already rumors going around that they will have more shows, but so far that’s been denied by the Chingas. We’ll be heading up to play in Eugene on Thursday, followed by shows in Seattle and Portland. So as if we weren’t honored enough to be touring with them again this weekend, we may be the only Humboldt delegates to truly see their last show together. Needless to say, we Vegas are all very sad to be losing our favorite band. What the fuck? What a world …”
