Find me a place for a house show and I'll reward you. I'm not gonna say money for sure or an amount here, but we'll settle up for sure in money, Fest passes or something else. Who doesn't need extra rent or drinking money at Fest? And we're not having the parties during Fest shows, so don't worry that you'll miss anything.

I need two types of places. We've got two for sure places for late night stuff. Then we've got two maybes one for night one for a dayshow.

I need you to find me a place where we can have either a day or night show and I'll get people to help move furnitrue out, we'll bring a PA and set everything up, we'll make sure not too many people get in (ie: last year at the thunderdome, the floor didn't actually cave in), we'll keep people outta your shit and then afterwards clean up and get everybody out. We won't do fliers or advertise it and we'll even talk to the cops if they come. No money, no booze...all rock.

That's a fucking deal, but I'm not getting as many people interested as I thought, so I'll up the ante.

Send me guaranteed spots and we'll talk terms.

Thanks for reading this and real quick, think about this...you've probably heard about legendary Fest house shows...and we're gonna be recording the shit...so why not have it be YOUR living room? How fucking cool would that be?

since I don't live there I say either at the Holiday Inn pool or I'm gladly offer up my hotel room for the smallest show of the Fest

No booze? No boooooooooze?

it might have just meant none for sale
cops have a bigger problem if there is a cover charge at a door for something or if alcohol is being sold

Ah, well alright then. I was just concerned, because if I'm going to a house show, I'm gonna bring a backpack full of beer.

exactly...I'm not gonna go through your bag.
just no door charge, no keg...basically.

Rad. Beer just seems to go hand-in-hand with house shows, and besides, if the house is a rockin' I'm assuming I'll be thirsty. (Though not miserable.)

what the fuck?

anybody? anybody?

oh you kids are probably too young to remember that movie...did you know ben stine was nixon's speach writer...no shit.

MacKenzie man you forget that culture does a big circle and comes back around, my little sister remembers that movie... unless I'm thinking of the wrong movie

someone should dress up as Abe Froman, the sausage king of chicago. it'd be even better if they dressed up as a giant sausage with a crown, named Abe Froman. yes, i know there's a plan-it-x band with this name. where do you think they got it from?

I wonder how long that would last.. be a blast to see everyone try it either way:)

I've seen impossible shows like that.
The best was The Locust on the front porch of the Pirate House back in Lawrence, KS. The whole thing lasted 13 minutes. They setup and kids started flocking to the front yard which went only 6 feet past the front porch, then the sidewalk and then the street. Within 2 minutes people were getting hit by cars and then eventually traffic stopped. Those kids went so nuts they started tearing the railing off the front porch from climbing it to dive...the had to replace the porch.
Once the cops came, everyone ran. Within a half hour this thing was setup and tore down as if nothing ever happened.
It kills me to think of a camera shot from a neighbors house...30 minutes of tape...setup, play, run...done....that would have been so cool.

You're one of those people, eh? You frame shots in your head, don't you?

But yeah, that would've been amazing to see.

sorta...I just think about it like "man, I'm fucking drunk having a great time and nobody will ever believe this shit" ... "i wish I could just plug an iLink cable to my brain and show you how rad it all was"

can you believe I got almost no responses to this?

sad really...but we do have some of it covered.

So, where are you at Gaineville?
