Weekend Warrior, January 11 - 13

So, remember when Union Transfer actually used to be the Spaghetti Warehouse? The stage didn’t exist, and the balcony was used for seating couples only interested in getting their spaghetti and meatball fix. Well, you are in for a nostalgic treat. The Walkmen are serving up a free spaghetti meal before their performance tonight at UT as a way to make up for their cancelled show at the Electric Factory this past summer. At 5pm, people will be able to come in for food and drinks, and maybe even some brews from this evening’s dinner sponsor Victory Brewing Company. At 6:30pm, you’ll be asked to then leave until the doors open for tonight’s performance so go grab a drink at Prohibition, The Institute or The Trestle Inn. Come back and join Hamilton, Paul, Walter, Peter, and Matt for some tasty tunes! Opening the music portion of the night will be Clap Your Hands Say Yeah frontman Alec Ounsworth. The spaghetti dinner is totally free, but The Walkmen are asking that you please RSVP at spaghetti@thewalkmen.com. Come a get your spicy meatballs (in the worst Italian accent ever)!
