I would just like to thank the EA community as a whole for being so great and helping us set up several of these shows. I think we really have a good thing going here on the EA board and we should all be thankful for it. Salut EA forum members!

If any of the EA members from Europe make it out to any of the EU dates please stop by and say hi. I'm the bald drummer guy...

Thanks,

Who's got a Payless Shoes basement that wants to host an afterbar where each and every one of our bands plays and we're not done rockin' until like 7 AM?

I am into this idea. Anyone have any resources?

This was a suggestion regarding the Bear Claw practice space.

Normally I would be all about this idea but the basement looks like a flea market right now. The guy we're renting from is moving out + there is just a lot of crap down there right now. Also, I'd have to run it by him and I know he's really busy right now so it probably won't happen this time around. The good news is that Rich is going to be taking over the apartment upstairs so we'll have control over the whole building shortly. More shows to follow.... at least I hope.

Maybe we could meet up at a 4 am bar or something?

My suggestion was a bit tongue-in-cheek, as i have to be at a screening for my roommate's feature film at the Oriental Theater in Milwaukee at 12:15 the next day, but! Since our show is all-ages, starts at 8:30, and has three bands, there's legitimately a good chance we'll head over to Quenchers to meet up with you guys after our show.

That would be great!. Its free over at Quenchers too so no worries about having to pay a cover or anything. Also, they have awesome beer over at Quenchers including $2 Blatz (not awesome in the traditional sense but still...) We'll be on at about5 12:30 and it will go till at least 2am.

...more payless shoe store shows are in the future though...
