The 2010 Cotati Accordion Festival was two days of squeezin’ bliss and a chance to hang with friends and fans and make new ones. I’m collecting all the photos and video and will be posting asap.

Meanwhile …

Death really, really liked this artwork and insisted that I get a snapshot. The owner was kindly accommodating. (Andrew if you email me your tattoo artist’s info I’ll be sure and give proper credit.)

UPDATE 8/30/10
Thanks, Andrew! The artist is Jeff Rassier at Black Heart Tattoo in SF.

And you can hear my pre-festival interview on KSRO here:

Plenty of chances over the next few weeks to get crazy and dance like wild folk.

First up is our show tonight (7/15) starting at 6PM on the plaza off Fourth Street in San Rafael. We’ve been playing the San Rafael Downtown Farmer’s Market since 2005!

We have three People in Plazas gigs lined up. These are free and in the streets of SF — my favorite kind of gig. Also up in San Francisco is our first time at the Blackthorn Tavern, a cool neighborhood pub you’ll want to check out.

And we are very pleased to be back at the Cotati Accordion Festival. It’s the 20th annual. Wow!

So come out and enjoy the weather and yours madly. We love playing music for you!

Of course we’ll be playing some of the tunes from our new CD “Flashbacks – the Mad Maggies play vintage hits”.

yours in a mad, mad world,

Mags
