What do is exceedingly likely that Tom Petty, Camille Cortinas and Travis Hopper have in common?

... They'll all be playing in the same place on August 4.
While picking up other gossip over at Smirnoff yesterday, I also learned that they had a strong response to their shout-out for local bands to play the side stage before summer concerts. Not every show will have a side stage player -- part of that decision is up to the touring act's management.
But, the system works. It sounds like Fishing for Comets and Travis Hopper will be sharing the side stage for the Tom Petty / Trey Anastasio show on my birthday.

To be clear, Travis and FFC have not gotten confirmation on this one yet, but the folks who told me sounded positive it was happening.

Well, Travis slapped my wrist so I wanted to make sure it was well-qualified enough.
Your birthday too?

Wrist-slapping...that sounds so negative! I just wanted to let you know that Tom hadn't approved it yet. And by Tom, I mean Tom Petty. I just call him Tom now though....

Bitch-slapping would have been negative. I considered it a love tap ;P
