This week is the third week of June.

Therefore, it contains the third Wednesday in June.

And on the Third Wednesday of every month, us new-media types gather (on the deck) at The Abbey Bar at Appalachian Brewing Company for a little party we call “Tweetup“. They begin at 7PM and go until whenever the last blogger leaves the building.

“What happens at these Tweetups?” you ask.

In a nutshell, it’s sex, drugs and rock and roll. This weeks Tweetup shall have the emphasis on the “Rock and Roll” portion of that combo.

Twitterati, Facebookers, Bloggers…essentially anyone who participates in social media in some fashion is welcome to join us. (We’re easy to spot. Look for the group that is wearing the most black tee shirts with some sort of code-joke that commoners won’t understand, iPhones and Blackberrys scattered all over the table, pasty white skin and yours truly chain smoking at the end of the table).

Not only is this week Tweetup week, but it’s also week-two of the off-to-a-rockin-start J Roddy and The Business residency at ABC. Things kicked off to a warmly receptive and enthusiastic crowd last week…and things look to get better as the weeks go on.

Joining J Roddy this week will be Lancaster piano-rock band The Sketties. They’ll start around 9 with J Roddy following at 10.

Double whammy?

You betcha.

Wango bango!

Ah, it’s a business filled with opportunities and decisions.

And sometimes, opportunities affect decisions which have already been made.

In this case, the opportunity for J Roddy Walston and The Business to open for the rolling-steam-train that is the Drive By Truckers in Baltimore on Wednesday June 3 has affected the decision to do a residency at The Abbey Bar at Appalachian Brewing Company.

But fret not- the series is still a go…and will rock every ounce of a ton for four weeks…but the series is now starting a week later…on Wed June 10th.

Bullet Point- J Roddy Walston and The Business Harrisburg residency IS still happening…but it is now beginning on June 10. June 3 (the original launch date) has J Roddy supporting Drive By Truckers at the Bourbon Street Ballroom in Baltimore. (Baa baa booey.) Tickets are free for this show. And it’s definitely worth the drive.

Please help spread the word…

Support slots are still the same- the only change will be Perkasie wrapping things up on Wed July 1.

June 10- Pariah Piranha
June 17- The Sketties
June 24- Adamo Drive
July 1- Perkasie
