| The Grand Poo-Bah User Info... | The lineup already is as follows: Vinegaroon, Blind Eye, Beautiful Void, and we're looking for a couple other bands to fill some spots. It doesn't matter whether you're hardcore, metal, ska, whatever just as long as you're good and will attract some fans. If you're interested email me at [email protected] or the band at [email protected] - Wed, 16 Nov 2005 8:12pm | ||

| The Grand Poo-Bah User Info... | To everyone still wondering what is up with the show the bands playing now are as follows: Vinegaroon, Beautiful Void, Rock and Roll Circus, HRP, and the Vendors, it could still all change, but that's what'll most likely happen sorry to all the other bands who wanted to play it would be great if you could but there just simply isn't enough room. I wish it could be Woodstock 05 but it isn't. - Sun, 20 Nov 2005 10:11am | ||

| The Grand Poo-Bah User Info... | the order is as posted, and rock and roll circus said they're supply a mixer, mikes, and lighting, and I will be supply speakers - Thu, 24 Nov 2005 9:57pm | ||
| Brumy User Info... | nice. what kinda mixer you guys got? is it powerd? haha or should i just wait? lol - Fri, 25 Nov 2005 7:00am | ||
| hamblyc User Info... | yo. are we getting gig posters or what? whens it start? - Fri, 25 Nov 2005 9:43am | ||
| The Grand Poo-Bah User Info... | If you want to learn about the PA we're using I suggest you contact Will of Rock n'Roll Circus since they're supplying it. And I hope all the bands playing will read this: to pay off the $200 dollar booking fee every band should pitch in $33 to cover, and that's including my own. Remember that's $33 PER BAND, NOT MEMBER, despite what some people might have said. All money made from the show will be spilt evenly with all the bands (tickets will go for $5 a piece). Which means get as many friends and family to go and support your stuff, so hopefully we should atleast make back what we had to pay for the show. I mean if only about 50 people show up everyone should make back what they put in plus a little extra. But of course I'm hoping we can bring in a little more than just 50 people. And about posters and whatnot I'm working on it, but for now try and spread the news by word of mouth. I could very well be wrong but I didn't see any posters for the Social Code show and that did quite well anyways. That's all I can tell everyone right now but I'll be updating you all again probably on this post or via email. chow mon frow - Sun, 27 Nov 2005 4:15pm | ||
| ender User Info... | SHEESH!! pay $30 odd dollars to lug gear to a show, play for free, then lug it home again after??? what a deal!!!! hell of a deal for the fernwood owner!! its called how to get live entertainment for free!! - Mon, 28 Nov 2005 9:14pm | ||
| Bladge User Info... | -"...to pay off the $200 dollar booking fee every band should pitch in $33 to cover, and that's including my own. Remember that's $33 PER BAND, NOT MEMBER..." -"All money made from the show will be spilt evenly with all the bands (tickets will go for $5 a piece)" ...why don't you just pay off the venue costs with the money you make from the show, and pay out the bands with what's left over ;) - Tue, 29 Nov 2005 3:04am | ||
| muahaha User Info... | why...because that would make WAYYY to much sense. instead of paying for the costs, and then takeing the money after, giving each band a small portion of money, and then pocketing a possible 200 dollars for themselves. it would make wayyy too much sense..... in the words of Pubert the wise "whack-whack-whackaaaaaa!".but since i dont live on the rock, and my bands not playing at the show, i shall say nothing more. - Tue, 29 Nov 2005 8:26am | ||
| Brumy User Info... | well since their splitting the profit to all the bands, then its fine. if 100 people show up...then each band takes home 80$ so each band makes money. i think thats a good deal Sometimes gotta spend money to make it;) - Tue, 29 Nov 2005 7:15pm | ||
| The Grand Poo-Bah User Info... | This is how the plan goes (IN NEW EASY TO READ INCOMPLETE SENTENCES!!): -pay off $200 first, then split profits evenly if you see any problem with that you can let me know, otherwise please politely shut the fuck up - Tue, 29 Nov 2005 10:06pm | ||
| Dazed User Info... | SEROTONE would love to play...email me at [email protected] - Wed, 30 Nov 2005 9:14pm | ||
| Trican User Info... | "if you see any problem with that you can let me know, otherwise please politely shut the fuck up " don't be a fag on the internet or people won't play shows with you. :) - Wed, 30 Nov 2005 10:55pm | ||
| canada_drum User Info... | you tell them simon... i dont see any problems with these plans, its a show for christ sake, and these guys are bitching a moaning about it. - Thu, 1 Dec 2005 4:08pm | ||
| Kyle User Info... | if you book a venue, you take on all costs. thats how that works. if YOUR show, dosn't make MONEY, YOU get FUCKED. Not the ones playing. - Thu, 1 Dec 2005 5:12pm | ||
| Colin User Info... | If any bands have issues, with this. Acidwash will throw down 33$, for a slot. - Thu, 1 Dec 2005 6:23pm | ||
| The Grand Poo-Bah User Info... | sorry colin but it's full next time if we put a show together we'll get some different bands namely you guys, none of the bands that are actually playing seem to have a problem with it - Thu, 1 Dec 2005 7:51pm | ||
| The Grand Poo-Bah User Info... | if everyone can still play, here's how the times would go down: 6:00 all bands show up, set up whatnot 7:00 blind eye 7:30 beautiful void 8:00 rock and roll circus 8:45 vendors 9:30 vinegaroon 10:15 hrp 11:00 take down everything if anyone who's playing is reading this, is this alright? no problems? let me know - Thu, 1 Dec 2005 8:20pm | ||
| Brumy User Info... | i think thats fine, but i have a suggestion. since there is 4 hours of playing time, thats 240 mins, devide that by 6 bands gives each band 40 mins each of actulal playing time. so that would give each band the same ammount of playin time. Its just a thought thou haa u dont gotta listen to me - Thu, 1 Dec 2005 8:33pm | ||
| The Grand Poo-Bah User Info... | that would be better for all the bands, but the other 3 minute band is more new and doesnt have enough material to fill 45 minutes. sorry i hope you dont mind too much playing only half an hour - Sun, 4 Dec 2005 7:23pm | ||
| brumy User Info... | oh no its fine. i dont really care haha. just wanted to give suggestions - Mon, 5 Dec 2005 2:49pm | ||
| hamblyc User Info... | Is that half hour of playing including take down and set up? - Tue, 6 Dec 2005 9:34am | ||
| Brumy User Info... | since were playing first we can set up ahead of time..and taking down takes us about 5 mins..so i think we can ply the full 30mins - Tue, 6 Dec 2005 2:05pm | ||
| The Grand Poo-Bah User Info... | in response to hamblyc yes it includes set up and take down time, which is why im hoping we can mostly share the same amps and set or whatnot for maximum playing time - Tue, 6 Dec 2005 10:20pm | ||
| The Grand Poo-Bah User Info... | yeah brumy's right, but anyways one slight problem, I am underage and I need someone to sign the contract dealie including liability for damage (if there is any which there shouldn't!) my parents won't do it so if someone 18 years or older will put themselves on the line please let me know and ill fax the contract or we could meet up and you could sign it in person - Tue, 6 Dec 2005 10:21pm | ||
| Brumy User Info... | so the shows cancled if u cant find someone to sign...nice - Wed, 7 Dec 2005 5:28pm | ||
| hamblyc User Info... | IS THIS GUY ORGANIZED OR WHAT!!......... WOW!!!!!!!!!! - Thu, 8 Dec 2005 8:57am | ||
| Justin/vendors User Info... |  JUstin=Vendor - Thu, 8 Dec 2005 11:17pm | ||
| zack User Info... | okay...so let me get this straight...you want everyone else to front the money, someone else to be liable AND you have the gall to tell other people to shut the fuck up? I'm not trying to be an asshole, but everytime I come back to this thread it gets more and more ridiculous. For one, I'm NOT going to put myself on the line for YOUR show, especially if you're going to be a dick about it - I'm even apprehensive about giving you my 30 bucks. Why would I want to give money to a little twelve year old dink, especially having no reason to trust this kid and make sure that i'm going to get ANY cut of any profit? Here's a little tip for you: if you don't want to lose money, don't put on a show. Zack - Fri, 9 Dec 2005 12:04pm | ||
| The Grand Poo-Bah User Info... | ok, I'm not trying to be an asshole either and I really don't want this to become a back and forth name calling thread. I wasn't referring "shut the fuck up"to any of the bands wanting to play because weren't really giving me any problems and if they did have one they could tell me with reasons and were atleast civilized about it. however when random people with nothing to do with this show need to express their divine opinions on everything i say, I get abit annoyed. - Sat, 10 Dec 2005 10:15am | ||
| chris User Info... | So stop bitching. And tell us if the gig is cancelled. Better not be!! - Sat, 10 Dec 2005 1:10pm | ||
| Will User Info... | Man everyone seems so strung up on this. Everyone just keeps flinging shit at Simon and thats not cool, none of the bands on the bill even thanked Simon, at least not on this thread, for doing what he has done sofar, my band included(thanks man). Most of us know how hard it can be trying to put together a show with a handful of other bands when your only 15 or 16 the last thing that should be happening is having members of the other bands that are playing at HIS show bitching at him cause then he'll never want to do this sort of thing again, right? Simon, if it falls through, bummer, no big deal there will be other shows and your still one of the best bass players around. I hope no one gets angry at this particular post as it was not my intention to piss any of you off, but how are we supposed to put together a good show when it looks like there's so much animosity between the bands. - Mon, 12 Dec 2005 4:53pm | ||
| Bladge User Info... | lets all make love. :) - Mon, 12 Dec 2005 7:54pm | ||
| The Vendors User Info... |  LOVE - Mon, 12 Dec 2005 8:04pm | ||
| The Grand Poo-Bah User Info... | because of a lack of liability it will be postponed to january at be moved to the CPAC. for bands wanting to play not in the area and don't know where that is email me if you need to know. some good news, it's way cheaper so no bands will need to pay - Tue, 13 Dec 2005 4:41pm | ||
