 ots community center that organizes local creative arts programs and f
 estivals. \"We had so much fun presenting Over The Line at the first s
 how in February, plus the audience response was overwhelmingly enthusi
 astic. What at hoot! The only proper thing to do at this point is to p
 lay this show again and invite more weird people to come experience th
 is very strange little piece of local DIY archetypal hippie rock theat
 re.\"After the performance of Over The Line the band will play an addi
 tional set of original music for a second half dance party segment of 
 the show!A Cash Bar and Activist Information Tabling area will also be
  available.\nContact: Brian O'Connell617-94-8983vinniechops@hotmail.co

 e puppets.\" - Kenny McCormick\"Viva Over The Line!\" - Subcomandante
