515 Crew

Doors at 9:30, Show at 10

hopefully Monstro plays and I just asked the Tanks, but we really wanna keep it a three band bill and fucking cheap ass Fugazi style punk rock ticket pricing. This will be awesome, dudes. I've been back for two years and I'm doing two shows in two months.

I am building the flyer right now in a program called Naked Light. That's all i'm going to say, but you can check it out if you have a Mac, it's sweet, and I got a drawing tablet again. brizstorm booking and art, eh?

get in on the fucking action
think bad brains with fucking best musicians in the twin cities playing in front of a really raw POS (twin cities hip hop mc). they are on init records...

as i have said in the other forum, you should prepare to have your ears fucked and your mind blown at the same time. so i would strongly suggest you clicky the linkies and prepare yourself to be blown away, des moines, cuz it's gonna be a cold winter, but some awesome fucking shit happening that you can't afford to miss.

Hey Can, I dj this show??? I missed joe ross in the tanks last time...

Everybody is confirmed except for Keith, who said he would check. I don't see why he wouldn't be able to do it.

Brizzi is not kidding. BBB is the shit and I hope lots of people make it out for this one.

hey brizzi,

are practice space shows going on even though they moved out....???

for all effects and purposes, no. my ex breanne (really cool illustrator) moved in with her bf larrison and they are homebodies, like to be in bed by 9. i will shoot her an email sometime about doing a show, but i went to grinnell last night with james finch and thomas who just moved up there, and ames progressive doesn't seem to be working. i am ready to start booking mews at least once a month and start doing house shows at hb, thrash or otherwise. going to start slow though.

this show at mews, then the shivers in february. everything will be chill, bands will be paid and treated extremely well. promotion will be all over ingersoll, 6th, and east village along with twitter/facebook/myspace and if you can help then please say so and i will get you the flyer i am working on right now!

totally richie!

bbb might be bringing one more, so we'll see how this firms up, we want a 3 band bill but we could probably do 4 and keep the party rolling, i just don't like shows that go until close this late in the winter, though it's saturday....

weather IS happening, anyway and anyhow you guys

SEAWHORES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cool...just send me the info... I will pm you my contact info...This will be dope....

you got 'stro down right?

yeah so far this is confirmed:

BUILDING BETTER BOMBS
THE TANKS
MONSTRO

and still gotta talk with dan davis regarding WEATHER IS HAPPENING or some dan davis related jawn. they are close friends of BBB and so i suspect some double d related jawn will perform, and dj richie daggers, should be a fun night! but we're not gonna let it go until 2 am or anything.

9:30 pm doors, 10 pm show is fucking starting at the latest. so get there early, dudes. this will move right along and every band is worth seeing!!!!

Late show? I thought you were talking up the fact you were gonna get 150 kids to come out to this? Not no more.

-Joe.

its so everyone can come catch Beati Paoli's set in pella and then make it back to this on time!!!

If you're so into Fugazi style show ethics, why is this a late show? Fugazi refused to play exclusionary shows.

LOLOLOL I just checked the VM website and the reason why this is the late show is because Kyd N Tre are doing the early one.

Nice response to valid points.
But yeah, I'm not going to be the one crying after this show doesn't live up to expectations.

-Joe.

i guess i just don't understand the interrogation. the bands are stoked, the show got too big for a house, kids who wouldn't come to the house will come to this and if the opposite is true then i feel shitty, but it seems to me that most kids coming to HB are over 21. i am being guided and assisted on this one and there's no guarantees, and i've never really made money on my shows, i'm just stoked to book again in the city where i started -- doesn't mean i won't use hb for other stuff.

EXACTLY

why are you guys hatin on the Brizz?

this will be a killer show regardless of the locale.

just come out and have a good time.

Building Better Bombs is gonna kill all your faces, and we all know how sweet the Tanks and Monstro are. Plus Richie D gettin drunk and making fun of everybody...what's not to like?

I'm 16 years old, so I'm probably the only one that won't be able to make it to this that wanted to. I'm just a little bitter. I'll probably just go to the show in Pella instead.

There are plenty of kids that go to HB shows that are under 21... and it's ridiculous to say this show is too big for a "house" show ("house" is also ridiculous to say) when the likes of Toxic Holocaust have played at the HB. I'm not saying you shouldn't book shows like this at the Mews, just when it comes down to the show being exclusive to a certain group of people, you may want to rethink your plans. That's all.

-Joe.

i don't think standing in another room or in the back of the house qualifies as actually seeing the band, joe. there are benefits to the show being at an actual venue, and i realize it sucks to do a show for a punk band like building better bombs that's not all ages, but the band was in on the decision.

deal with it.
talked to shane.
everything is chill.

SIMMAH DONNAH!

private message for shane.
looks like a good show.

I appreciate all your efforts wholeheartedly, but I'm not going to be able to go to this show. Everything will be alright, though, because I will be still be able to see Beati Paoli in Pella.

SUNSHINE VIPER (http://www.myspace.com/sunshineviper) is the 4th band and will play first. Show is 9:30 PM, $6.

Anybody have Kristy's contact info? I wanted to see if she'd be able to do a gig flyer, as I don't really have days off until this show!

God damn it, I love Jason.

-Joe.

i love joe!

i mean, come on, what's not to like?

also, big thanks to kristy for making the flyer. i am SUPER busy. she says ISU is the best place to get flyers printed, but does anyone know the protocol or where i could get good prints in des moines? been working 10-12 hours a day, which sucks on one level and rips on others, wish i could have been at ghost towns...

anyhow i need to know where you dudes get full color big ass prints done in the area. recommendations? also, fuck kinko's.

Ugh I hate Kinkos!

That said, I don't have any suggestions. Sorry dude.

The guy that Sam uses is on Hubbell, and he's really cheap and good. Place is called Prints Copy. You can email him at printscopy@aol.com and get a price quote and stuff. He printed the Tyborn Jig cd release posters, if you ever saw those.

Oh yeah, I go to that guy too. He's super nice, and is always wearing an ozzy osbourne shirt.

2009 TIME TO SHINE. happy new year.

anyhoozle, remember how i don't have any days off but still manage to have time to post on the internets?

i could just explain that i work at , but actually i move into my new apartment in wdm on this day. YAY. anyhow, very cool for me.

this show will destroy. methinks richie is setting up upstairs. this should be super fun.

if you can help flyer, email me or kristy and we will send you hi-res or images or use the one i posted. i need any/all help and will have big posters up around town, i don't see how handbills or 8.5x11s are useful with nine days to go, so help tell your friends!
