Hey All,
I hope that some of you will journey out to this cool show.
My Friend Whorehay from the (Radio Free Bakersfield Podcast show)
http://www.bangcartoon.com/podcasts/spahnranch/
and I are getting into Booking Bands for the Surf and Garage Saturdays
at Safari Sams in Hollywood.
Its a free Brunch type of event, and is a really nice place with great
food. You just have to buy the food. 
I would like to thank Slacktone for being my first band that I have
booked for a show.
5214 W. Sunset Boulevard few blocks East of the 101 freeway.
Noon to 4:30
all ages.
get there early for good parking in the 99cent store parking lot,
it fills up fast.
Hope to see you there.

Thanks for comin out to the show man,
I was really happy to see who I did.
I got about 15 people there.
and there was a total of about 30 including all the bands.
needless to say that wasn't enough, and the club actually lost money after paying the bands, and giving them food.
I hope more people come out to the July and Aug. shows.
otherwise these 3 will be the only ones.
Look people its (free) (daytime show).
those of you who complain about not liking to go out to clubs late at night.
its all ages, there was a few people that brought kids.
they have great food, and some people didn't buy food, which is how
the club makes the money to pay the bands for these day shows.
ugh,
I'm happy the show was good,
but very disillusioned with the turnout.
surprised?
no.
thanks again to Slacktone for playing for us.

Lousy turnout it seems. But what a cool line-up and excellent flyer! Good luck with the next couple of bookings...!

Look people its free daytime show.
those of you who complain about not likign to go out late at night.
Jeff,
Sorry to hear about the low turnout. But, it takes a long time to get the word out and build up a following for a daytime event.
Keep at it!

Hey man, how many times do we get the chance to hear Slacktone for free?
I'd never be able to handle living in LA, unless it was on the beach, which I don't think I'll ever be able to afford! But you've got to admit, most people down there are friendly, and there are some SUPER bands that you'd get to see a lot more often if you lived down there (like Jeff). I am glad that its about a days drive away. In July when the Pyronauts return to the Purple Orchid and Huntington Surf Museum it will be our third trip down this year!
Jeff, you can't expect your first show to go over perfectly! Promotion baby! You've got to build a new crowd! Don't focus so much maybe on everyone that's already in the know.... maybe try to reach others and enlighten them? Keep on surfin'!

Sorry I missed you guys this week-end Jeff, Freddie, and everybody else. Wanted to be there.
The Detonators are bonin' up for a gig at the L.A. Zoo, 4th, 5th, and 6th of July.
They want 3 hours of Surf and Rock tunes. That means some vocal tunes. ooooouuuu, yucky. Did I say vocals?
For $400 clams each band member, for each day, I guess I would even grab a ukuele and play Tiny Tim songs.........
"Tip toe thru the tulips"...........
;D

Keep with it Jeff!
I was planing on coming with my kids until I forgot that I had already commited to going to the Getty with the ex (Pamita Neptuna) and her Dad for a pre-fathers day outing.
I'll do my best to hit the others!
You do a TON for this scene and I'll try to support your endevours.

Jet Sterling, again? didn't I just see you in Clarkston, Ga.?
Yeah- we keep meeting in the strangest places, eh?
BTD - great to meet you man. Definitely keep at it and hopefully the audience will keep building.
Also, thanks for taking me down to the Tiki Ti - your buddy Jim is quite the mixologist!

Thanks Jeff, and Jet,
I appreciate the kind words.
anybody that has any ideas for promoting please feel free to post here, or
e-mail me.

Jet it was great to meet you,
hope that drink wasn't too strong for ya.
its an asskicker for sure.
I had another at the restaurant next door, and part of a Mai Tai at another place later that evening.
we went back to the tiki ti about 9:30 and decided we had drank enough.
let me know next time you come to town, as I dont always post everything that is happening show wise.

Yeah - by the time I got back to the hotel, I only had a few minutes before I had to meet up with the dinner crew. We kept rolling 'til about 2a (they didn't seem too sympathetic about my head start).
I will let you know next time I am back in the area. I sounds like, from your post on TC, that I missed some late-afternoon hot rod show antics.

nothing huge.
