I'm not entirely clear yet on what the something called Mr. Shoe is, but 
it's also known as the Durham Arts Initiative, aka DAI.  Durham is 
becoming the City of Cultural Acronyms with the letters "D" and "A" in 
them. It occupies the former Mr. Shoe shop on Main Street. Informed 
sources tell me that they have recently installed *gold lame curtains*. 
Which is something we should all support. And Blackstrap will be sharing 
the stage with the SheMamas and Shanna Scudder. Last I heard, Shanna is 
planning on performing with her band.
