No harm in getting this conversation started a early this year, I figure. Any volunteers?

Yes, I think we're finally ready. And no pregnancy or wedding to throw this year, so.

Though - Denver sounds pretty good too. I hear it is like the Toowoomba of the USA.

Howdy,

Back like a prodigal son. Just gotta throw NYC's hat in the ring. I've had a busy year with Lucky Witch and I think I have a much better grasp of booking in NYC than I ever have (especially after booking a year of showcase shows). I feel like I can do something nice for SF this year, if y'all are feeling like hitting the East Coast again.

Just returned from Colorado...Keystone, A-Basin...skiing.

Denver is my old stomping grounds. In fact, there are still posters from past Roktot concerts scattered around plastered to the underpasses.
I would like Denver. Hopefully, I could make it. Statute of limitations..stuff.

There are a few concert clubs still about such as, Mercury Cafe, Bluebird and of course, the Blue Note in Boulder. I've played them all, but my favorites are mostly gone.... Walibi's, Malfunction Junction, Mr Lucky's, Pirate Art Gallery is still there, but it's just an art gallery now. Used to have killer punk concerts. Horse trough full of beer..a buck each and no rules !!!

The Mercury Cafe would be a good fit. It'a actually one of my favorites from the past. Our lead singer's pants hung from the rafters for years after we played there. Yes, they came off during the show. I remember seeing them flying through the air, but don't really remember why. Lead singer thing, I guess.

Oh well, I'm for Denver.
Thanks.

This is maybe more approximate than you wanted but it's been in August seven times, July six times, June three times, and last year we had it in September.

Assuming it's going to be Denver and August, are there any weekends people want (or want to kick off)?

We have one request for mid-August because the Red Rocks concert schedule is killing it in August, but any are up for grabs.

Options are:
August 3-4
August 10-11
August 17-18
August 24-25

We are about to sign contracts with venues but it would be helpful to know who is actually planning to come from the core group of SF!L attendees before we book two nights/venues.

Are you planning to come?

If yes, do you prefer Aug. 10-11 or Aug. 17-18? (Those dates are the options for our venues, period.)

Thanks!

I want to go. I have to check in with my better half about it, but last time we talked about it a while ago she wanted to go too. We have tickets to see David Byrne the 16th, so maybe we'd slightly prefer 10-11, but, we could still do 17-18. Thanks for taking the reins on this, you rock!

EDIT: Confirmed, Erin is in.

I’m an outside chance on this one - a few things need to fall into place first. But I think either week is fine with me.
