Here's a public service announcement about the Halloween show:
Halloween Show Particulars.
As of right now, no new bands can be formed. We are full. Here are the
bands I have playing:
Cheap Trick
Pretenders
Steve Miller
The Breeders
The Replacements
Flaming Lips
Alice Cooper
1/2 Japanese
The Stooges
Ike & Tina turner
Insane clown Posse
Ministry
MDC
Hüsker Dü
Bryan Adams
Jackson 5
John Cougar Mellencamp
Reo Speedwagon
Bob Segar and the Silver Bullet Band
The Primatives
Guided by Voices
Devo
I know (hope) some bands don't show. One member of each band has to be
at the super secret place at 6:30 pm so we can get the set list
together.
I may need some people help with some heavy lifting earlier in the day.
There will be a drum set, 2 guitar amps, a bass amp and 3 mics. If you
need anything else, let me/ Charles know. Does someone have a keyboard
for sharing? There isn't much room, so I would like to keep equipment
to a minimum. Other instrument sharing encouraged, talk to your
friends.
There is no obvious drinking at this place. I'll bring some cups. Most
of you should know the rules. Stay off the sidewalk, be fucking cool
or I'll have Bob Stinson regulate. With puke.
You are more than welcome to stay and help clean up.
It's 2$ to get in to pay for the space. I don't care if you are
Michael Jackson, it's still 2 bones. Leftover money will go to
charity. That charity may be a certain Armenian/Italian fella's plane
ticket.
I am pretty sure we will have some emcees. Does anyone want to DJ
between bands?
Any questions? You should be able to find out how to get in touch with me.

If 1/2 Japanese is me, it's not happening. Kinda looking like no Primitives either.

The theme is Midwest.

And ends at 7:00 AM.

Yeah, definitely no Primitives, couldn't pull that one together. They're a West Midlands pop band.

I have a keyboard that I am going to use that can be shared. It's a pretty basic casio.
Is there a keyboard amp? I have a little crappy one I can bring, but if someone has something better, that would be sweet.

i'm confused, regardless, since the primitives are from england...?
Whoops, I didn't even check. Oh well. I would've like to heard "Crash," maybe some year we can do soundtracks or something.
Ministry is out too, so now we only have 19 bands.
g
dylan barnes is going to be bring his keyboard and it is pretty gigantic.
heh, and you know what they say about that...
I believe I heard that the Primitives are from the Midlands, which is kind of in the Midwest of England. If Canada can have a Midwest then so can England.
Uh, So someone does speedwagon and no one asks me or ed?
Alice Copper will not be playing, sadly. And even though I didn't pay for the plane ticket I will take that charity money!!!
Speedwagon is going to kill. I know that a bunch of the bands that are listed won't show but we still have 18 who have practiced.
Bands That Told Me They Were Going to Play, that I Forgot (I blame Nick Miller edition):
Peggy Lee
Last Minute Addition Made by Someone Who Always Gets an Exception Because He Brings it:
Everly Brothers
gbomb
Husker Du won't happen if it's supposed to me me and Al.
Charles
is anyone playing?
No, but Burg is going to dj, so come anyway.

OK, after number crunching I have allowed another band, Zapp, to be added.
Yes, I do play favorites. I also break my own rules.
g
I can't decide if I love or hate watching this thing inch closer to Burning Man every year.
-miller
What do you think happens at Burning Man, smiller?
gbomb
