Starting Sept 24, The Ramifications have every Monday night at a cool little spot called Headhunters here in Austin.

It's a nice little room, a small crowd fills it up pretty quickly. Our gig is to "hold 'em" after Monday Night Football...which is some kind of American sporting event I guess. We start at 10:30...and the gig goes indefinitely-right now, we're booked through October...if it doesn't work out, we can drop it after that if we want.
So it's not exactly the spot I was looking for, which was ideally an earlier time slot later in the week...what we got is a late time slot, early in the week. I have NO idea what sort of crowd will be hanging out watching Monday Night Football (guess we'll find out)but it does satisfy one crucial need: a place to rehearse for free/possible pay, once a week. That plus hopefully we can start building a crowd from here.
This way we still have the weekends open for travel gigs, and my 'day job' gigs which usually happen earlier in the evening won't collide with the later time slot. So it's a pretty good deal.
