This coming Saturday, Trainwreck will be playing at the Black and Gold Grill in Latrobe, part of a fundraiser for the Thinking of Nikki Foundation. There will be at least 1 incompetent guest bartender (me), and 1 wanna-be rock star (Bob). Lou and his guys go on at 9pm, guest bartenders start at 8pm, and there will be raffles of all sorts, 50/50, gift baskets, a separate raffle for an iPad, and more!
