Author's Afterword:

If you liked what you read of this AIM chat, then you should definitely check out The Old Believers who are playing in NYC this Sunday!

Here is the plug, straight from the man in Soldotna, Alaska himself:

Subject: The Old Believers in NYC

Hey Mandy, I sent you a text about this earlier today. Anyways, it
would mean the world to both me and them if you could make it to
their show! They need as many people as possible to show up, since
they're pretty unknown in NYC. But anyways, The Old Believers are
playing at The Living Room on the 9th, and they're a wonderfully
talented, beautiful young couple that make amazing music together,
and they put on a pretty kick-ass show.

Here's a few of their tunes:

http://www.oldbelieversmusic.com/mp3s/4_Thats_All.mp3
http://www.oldbelieversmusic.com/mp3s/8_The_Glories_All_Been_Done.mp3
(This is my new favorite song in the world and will probably make it
to the top of my iTunes "Top 25 Songs Played" smart playlist soon)

It's at 10pm on Sunday the 9th, @ The Living Room
154 Ludlow St., NYC (between Stanton and Rivingston)

http://www.livingroomny.com/music.html

It's the same venue that Norah Jones got her start at! The web site
says there's no cover charge, just a $5 suggested tip.

Tell everybody you know!

And if you can make it, make sure to tell them I said Hi after the
show :-)

Thanks Mandy, I love you.
