Ken's Super Duper Band 'n Stuff will be playing all of these shows, but I may need to miss Moscow. (Sorry MK!)

Count me in for the Bay Area and Seattle. I would also like to do LA and can probably get down there for that show. Maybe I could do SLO on the way home from LA if I drive. Less likely but also of interest to me would be Portland, but I'd have to fly to Portland or Seattle and drive to/from whichever one I don't fly into, which would be challenging.

O.K. It looks like the schedule is "finalized". I have a couple of venues in mind, will start with the all-ages ones. What kind of time are we looking for here, Ken? 2 hrs? 3? 4?

Ken, put Primitive Screwheads down for Spokane, too, and add Anti-M to the Portland bill, s'il vous plait.

Portland has too many alt-names, heh. :wink:

And for the "sample track" for pimping purposes, let's go with our cover of WreckdoM's Not Exactly Normal.

Yes, we're gonna try to do that on stage, heh. But different.

Cool!!! I'm in Spokane!! I can see real musicians now, instead of all these butt rock "metal-core" bands round here.

If the Seattle and Spokane guys aren't even going to show up to Moscow, the date may as well be canceled. If one and not the other between the Spokane and Seattle shows are 18+/all ages I'll do my best to make it there (Spokane being easier to get to than Seattle), and if they both are 18+/all ages I'll probably just hit Spokane. I'd like to play, too.

Marcus,

Octothorpe has not named any dates yet. Still working with the band on that. I will make Idaho if at all possible.

If I'm not mistaken, the myspace site has these two dates reversed.

Sorry, at this point both those dates are up in the air. Seamus is working hard to make these shows happen.

It's real now. I have booked the Seattle show on Friday, March 30. Hope I didn't do anything rash.

Details to follow.

Just an idea, for two reasons:

1. No one asked me :)
2. Needs to be able to be customized for individual venues.

Seattle Show is at <a href="http://www.chaihouse.com/">Mr. Spot's Chai House</a>. Show time is 7:00 until 10:00, because it becomes 21+ at 11:00. I really hope that Marcus can make it.

BTW, it won't take you long clicking around that page to discover that they have an affiliation with spud.com. I have nothing to do with that. Really.

I've updated the myspace page for this and sent out a few more requests for venues.

Spud, can we add a space to the flyer where the specific venue info can be added?

Also, I need a couple more songs for the myspace page. Also, later, I think we will want tracks for a comp CD that we can distribute to help promote the shows.

Yes, Ken, indeed.

That was just a prototype. Obviously, we would want venue info as I noted in my post. Also, need to finalize the two Bay Area locations and make sure that all the artists (mico saudad, etc.) are included.

I will work up a higher-res version that we can convert once this information is finalized.
