Just want to give a big Thank You! To for gracing us with his presence last night after his show at The Cultural Center. And thank you to all the wonderful people that accompanied him. I would have tried to get a picture but it was so busy! I'm not only a huge fan, but I've been working to make The Beetle a cool music spot for 16 years. It means the world to me to have been able to feed you all after the show. Thank you so much!
