I know my limits, and they begin at the Dead. To give you a metric for my lack of knowledge, I only connected the dots a few years ago that Ben & Jerry’s Cherry Garcia is a pun. A great mystery was solved that day. As such, any questions about alligators or Europe ‘72 will be immediately forwarded to current or former roommates, whose breadth and depth of knowledge far exceeds mine. But, my job is to tell you things I know, and I do know that Cosmic Charlie, legendary local Grateful Dead cover band, will be performing at Southern Brewing Co. on the 31st. They’re celebrating the 23rd anniversary of their first ever show in 1999, four years after the death of Jerry Garcia. It will also be a celebration of what would have been Jerry’s 80th birthday. I’m sure it’ll be a great time, and I might even see you there!

WHEN: Sunday, July 31, 6 p.m.
