Not to be outdone Caspar Babypants, children's musician by day and indie rock band leader by night, Sarah Shannon of the 90's Sub POP band Velocity Girl is taking her turn crooning for the cradle set as front woman for The Not-It's. Perhaps you and your little ones would like to sample her ankle-biter anthems? Stop by Alphabet Soup Children's Books (1406 N. 45th St) for an in-store concert this Saturday , Sept 26th at 11 am. We're glad they've included…
