Random Thoughts for Friday, 29 September:
Had a real scare when the big Texas BBQ place we wanted for the Friday Night Casual BBQ with BP had a band booked! Erika sweet-talked the mgr into rescheduling the band - can you believe that? So we have the venue for the BBQ and Friday night jam.
Finally! We had a bad 24 hours there, folks.
Details - big place. Private room for the eats and Erika says the best ribs she's ever tasted. Full bar. Stage. The stage is ours after 9 pm; we'll have to supply equipment (I was hoping they had a PA but no joy there). They aren't closing it down for us, so there will be Shocked And Frightened Regular Humans at the bar, although I'm told biz falls off seriously after the kitchen shuts down.
At some point, I'm going to need to know how many of you expect to be here for the Friday Night Events, too.
Gotta figure out a way to do that.
Oh yeah - Friday will be a Forum Jam, I think, at the BBQ place.
The schedule of musical events for Saturday, tweaked to perfection by BP and Erika, is:
1. Cowpilot
2. Biff Baby's All Stars
3. Forum Jam
This way, I can be done with my workday early and enjoy the rest of the evening. I like this concept a lot. Especially since martinis and bass playing do not go together well for yours truly.
For you guys who already have booked rooms at the Hyatt, please email me over the weekend. We now have a group rate and if you already have a room reserved, only I (or Erika actually) can change it, which we will gladly do.
DO NOT PM ME! I mean, I love you and all, but I can't keep track of PMs. My inbox fills up with "How do I fix this knob" and "Can you ship to New Zealand" and all that stuff, so email me. Thanks!
More as it comes to me.
