Vintage Union, Brent Smalley, and FREE Shotglasses! BSU Late Night is filming an episode Thursday, March 18 at 6:00pm. Doors open at 5:45pm in Studio A of the Ball Communications Building. At the end of this entry is a video of how to get to the studio.
We are going to have a live band, The Vintage Union, in the studio along with stand-up comedian Brent Smalley! Already those are two great reasons to come, but since our fans grew from less than 200 to nearly 500 fans in a matter of a week, we're giving away FREE shotglasses to our fans.
