IN THIS ISSUE: 1) Tour diary 2) Update on The Bottom Line 3) Kennedys November touring schedule 4) Mercantile 5) Find radio station in your area that plays The Kennedys music 1) tour diary Happy November, one and all! We were lucky enough to be on the road in New England through much of October -- such a beautiful time to be there! We had the good fortune to play with both Cadence Carroll at the Towne Crier, and Gandalf Murphy and the Slambovian Circus of Dreams at Bodles Opera House. We love the magic of collaborating on stage with our friends, and we look forward to more such collaborations in November, when we'll be sharing the stage with Nanci Griffith and Julie Gold in Boston, Gandalf Murphy et. al. in Philadelphia, and others. We're also proud to announce that we'll be touring entire U.S. early 2004. Be sure to check our website http://www.kennedysmusic.com for future dates! 2) UPDATE ON THE BOTTOM LINE Last month, we told you about the Bottom Line Cabaret in lower Manhattan facing eviction by NYU. Since that time, Sirius Satellite Radio, Bruce Springsteen and others have pledged money to help pay the Bottom Line's back rent -- they fell behind after September 11, 2001, like so many other businesses below 14th street -- and to help fund the rent increase of over 200% imposed by NYU. The Bottom Line still does not have enough money to go back to the negotiating table, and time is running out. As of today, The Bottom Line has, at the most, three weeks to come up with the money for back rent, future rent increase, and mandatory upgrades. The judge may rule before that time is up, so they need your help TODAY! You can help by writing letters to NYU and to media outlets, but most urgently, The Bottom Line can use your monetary support. Please go to www.Savethebottomline.com. You can also listen to our musical plea in the song "SaveTheBottomLine.com," available as an MP3 by visiting our web site: www.kennedysmusic.com. We thank you from the bottom lines of our hearts! 3) KENNEDYS TOURING SCHEDULE: Friday, October 31 - It's Halloween with The Kennedys, and special guests, Gandalf Murphy and the Slambovian Circus of Dreams at The Point, located at 880 W.
