A huge congratulations to Venice drummer Dann Gillen, who's just announced he's going to be a dad.  Expected due date of his baby girl:  March 7.  Way to go, big guy!  And you too, Julie.  Welcome to the wacky world of parenthood.

If you'd like to offer your own congratulations, you can do so personally at Friday's Pine Mountain Logs gig at the Belly Up, where Dann will be playing with the band for the first time in quite a while.

A note from Michael Lennon:

Hey all you Venice kids....

Don't forget about the "Abbot Kinney Birthday bash" this Saturday, November 12.  It will be a one of a kind event...never to come again.  Not sold out yet but hurry because it just went out to all local Venice stores and restaurants.  We want our friends there to see the history of our great city by the sea.  Covered outdoor reception with slide show, full bar and food.  Then, step inside the old bakery warehouse for a special Venice concert.  It's a chance to go deeper into the background of the 4 Lennons from Venice....see where they grew up, see where Michael worked, etc.,etc.  Sounds exciting, huh?
