Birthdays, bashes and big hearts...

(Our friendly rival's fans are voting like crazy tonight in the Country Weekly poll, and if anyone should know how quickly these polls can shift, it's us...remember last night? Kellie is now in the lead, at 57.9%. Too close to call, and changing every minute! Go vote now .)

And we thought it would be a quiet night! Here's a news flash--Bucky and Rocky Covington are scheduled to perform a special show at Hugo's in Rockingham on October 13th, according to this post at the Fox boards. (They'd like the house packed--somehow I don't think that'll be a problem at all.) This might be one of the few remaining chances to enjoy the Covington Sound in this intimate an atmosphere--Country Weekly-blurbed, Mark Miller-produced, Nashville-bound performers tend to need bigger venues, sooner or later, and we're guessing sooner. Stay tuned to the thread for more details, and if you go, have a great time!

And if you're looking for a way to celebrate the Covington brothers' upcoming November 8th birthday, here's a beautiful one--a number of big-hearted fans are planning to donate to the Victory Junction Gang to mark the occasion. Details on contributions are available at the organization's site, and there's likely to be more information on this thread, as well.

More later!
