I am so there....

Sure hope all of us down in southern california can come out and support a good showing at the gas lamp on the January 23rd. 8:00 to 10:00pm. The time is right. The place is right.

Very Large parking lot ( more than 300 cars )
Very large stage. 1000sf +
Very large building 6000 sf.
Great quality food
Two full bars.

We want to show the gas lamp that it is good idea to support the surf genre music. They are now very enthusiastic about trying us out. But if no one show up then is could fizzle out like the Starting Gate did.

We always talk about wouldn't it be nice to have a really cool place local to support surf music. I have been working patiently to get this place.

Lets all make a strong effort to come out on Wednesday night the 23rd and show our enthusiasm and support for the gas lamp. Then they will continue to be excited about surf music.

I was at the GasLamp last wednesday to check out the Led Zep tribute band. Place is real nice and the burgers are even nicier and juicier. I will be there again tonight to check out a classic rock band. Acoustics are first rate to go with a real nice stage, risers, stage lights and all. Check out the burgers, and then the waitresses.

JR,
1st thing its a wed. so there will be plenty of people complaining about it being during the work week.
2nd make sure alot of people know about it.
dont just post here.
all 4 of the band members need to send out e-mails to everybody on their address list, and pick up the phone and call those who dont have e-mail.
I will be there and I will tell people about it.
But I can't guarentee that 300 people will be there.

Just making suggestions,
people can listen to me and have people show up.
or just post here and get 5 people.

when I really promote something I e-mail 200 or more people and call about 50.

What I like about the Gas Lamp is that they are excited about Outerwave being there. They are looking to mix us the music this year. Being the number one entertainment club in Long Beach the last two years because they normally have 80's bands. They usually have long lines wraped around the building just waiting for room to enter the place. They know how to promote.

Outerwave is going to introduce surf music to these walls. And also to announce to the crowd there about the Feb 23rd Surf O'Rama honoring Linda Miller.

The Gas Lamp has put some money out to advertise this event four weeks in a row in the Orange County Weekly paper. They are adding the event on their web site. I am impressed that they are doing something proactive when other venues do very little to nothing. I am also impressed with special fans and friends that help out by supporting the bands. You guys are great and very special to me. We are all very busy, but many of you go out of your way to help out. Thank you very much.

Nice to hear from you Billy, first of all, as you know we had hurrican type weather lately and Wednesday night was the worst. The parking lot was flooded. There were maybe 40 to 50 people. Two cute waitresses started and ended with one. Burgers delicious. Stage was great, next time I will mike all my drums instead of just the bass drum. Adrien and Gina, Jim of the Nocturnes, Ted and Jane, Sue and Joe Copeland, Jeff BTD were there. Adrien sat in on Walk Don't Run. While we were putting back our gear to our cars a taxi cab pulled over with two cute chicks in the back seat. They were asking if there was still any action inside. Must be middle shelf hookers looking for some extra cash. Got any gigs coming up where we can listen to some surf and down some cool ones?
