Terrapin Station's 20th Anniversary Bash

If, like me, you struggle to remember the time before Terrapin Station offered comfort to the tie-dyed and Teva-ed, well then, maybe you were a customer too. From its birth 20 years ago, Terrapin has been more than a Hertel Avenue head shop; it’s been a kind of community center for Deadheads. You could get your kit there, sure—tapestries, tapes, incense, silver, glassware and other accoutrements—but you could also meet likeminded people, arrange rides to shows, find a bass player for your band. You could cop a design idea for a t-shirt to sell out of your trunk. It was home. And this weekend Terrapin sponsors a homecoming, a Dionysian anniversary at Club Infinity featuring music by Sonic Garden and Acoustic Forum, two of the region’s best jam bands, as well as surprise guest artists. Artvoice will be there, too, handing out t-shirts, hats and other prizes to revelers who fill out ballots for our annual Best of Buffalo poll. Stop in, as Terrapin’s ad slogan goes, and say “hi.”

Saturday, March 1 at 8pm. Club Infinity, 8166 Main Street, Williamsville (565-0110/clubinfinity.com). FREE.
