Winter sucks, so here's something to keep yourself occupied and motivated.

Here's the deal: come over to the 15th house (369 e 15th avenue) on Saturday, February 5th at 7:00 pm.
We'll have a potluck, you'll write your name on a piece of paper, and then put it in a hat.
From there we'll draw names and you'll get paired with mystery band-mates.

To make it fair for everyone: YOU HAVE TO PLAY AN INSTRUMENT THAT YOU ARE NOT PROFICIENT AT.
The point of this is to not only have fun, but to encourage people to play music who don't already and for those who are already musicians to try something different.

Do you wail on guitar? Ok, then you are the drummer instead!
Are you a great bass player, but afraid to sing? Ok, then you are doing the stand alone vocals!
Do you have a saxophone collecting dust in the basement that you have no idea how to play?
Have you never played an instrument before, but always wanted to? Or wanted to be in a band?
Here's your chance!

Then on Saturday, March 26th we'll have a show at the 15th house with all of the bands formed -- that gives you a little over a month to get it together!
Every band plays 3 songs, including a cover.
You don't have to be in a traditional guitar/bass/drums/vocals band, you can play whatever you want. Acapella style, home-made instruments, off the wall instruments like the xylophone/recorder/dulcimer/etc, you get the point.

I was part of something like this when I lived in Pittsburgh a few winters ago and it was a blast.. I think it'll be a lot of fun in Columbus and hope to see you at the potluck!

PS: If you can't make the potluck and still want to be a part of this, send me an email (dearleanne@gmail.com) and we'll add your name to the hat.

I sent you an e-mail. Sounds like a blast!

i gots the deja vu.

this is tomorrow.. come and check it out!

My band had our first practice last night. This is going to be a lot of fun. I predict lots of beer drinking and laughter.

i wanted to do this, but was really busy that night. i will be at the show.

just a note that the final show for this has MOVED as i forgot that i'll be in chicago the weekend of the 26th. the new date is SATURDAY, APRIL 2ND at the 15th house (369 e 15th ave).

this was really fun and a great turnout of people for the potluck. we had our first practice last night and i ended up getting paired with two already close friends and a stranger who's awesome. drums are hard and weird, but i'll get it eventually.

looking forward to hearing all the new bands (9 total) at the final show!

update: the FINAL SHOW is this
SUNDAY, APRIL 3RD at the MONSTER HOUSE (115 w 10th avenue - campus) at 8 pm.
it's free, bring your friends and come see a show that will probably be a total mess, but fun too.

top for this evening.. check it out!

How did I miss this? I was gonna show up with my dick in a box
