Sounds about right!

Matrix I hate you ... I've dropped into thinking mode again ... see, see, see what you did ... baa ... I've got idea's zooooming around ... options, thoughts and plans ....

I'll hold out for sidstock, thanks though... could be a long wait ... maybe never ... It's that kinda gig that is a nightmare to organise and is filled with financial horror. Having said that ... I know of a few fab pubs with awesome gardens by the river ... that *may* be an opening for somthing li...

Cheers Kenz mate ... All I can say is I REALLY wanna do this ... but we do need folk behind us ... a few quid each is all we need and we can put on a show! FACT we cant afford a mega sound system so we do it acoustic FACT we cant afford a big venue so we get it free FACT we cant afford posh hotel ro...

Hey! Seth Sternberger of 8 Bit Weapon here! My wife* and I are plannignn a european tour next summer, and this would be a great gig to play as the finally! Why not have the best of both worlds? Live and Electronic?? Much Luv, -Seth http://www.8bitweapon.com http://www.computeher.net - *wife :) Date...

Basically I can now get a free venue ... we can have the music we want and Im sure I can get say 10 C64's and 10 Amiga's + and handful of consoles .... I would organise a raffle ... Kenz could *maybe* run a shop? Just for fun ... lets say we do this as a mix with YakYak ... call it a BIT/RV and penc...

There may be some truth in what Tas is saying there ... and *maybe* as far as big gigs are concerned maybe those days are over ....

But ... Pub gigs! Cheap to organise, easy to arrange ... and no chance of cash loss! ...

Well, just a thought ... kinda dont want to put it to bed just yet.

An idea ... I now have a few good contacts in the pub trade ... mostly here in Oxford ... now, a possible idea ... based on a pub that would easily hold say 150 ... *IF* I could arrange for us to have a free pub (idea being we buy beer and food there) + be able to take over the sound system and play...

*sighs* ...

From my point of view I really not interested in making cash ... just want a show. How we do this is .... mmmm (read what Chris said) I like the of a pot that folk could put cash into online in the build up ... see how we go. If the whole idea falls over before we get going the funds can be returned...

I'd save the money till 08, let it build up, and pile twice as much in for another gig at the brighton centre. And what of sidstock ? no plans yet ? PS: I sent you an email markie, did you get it ? Thats a good idea .... Brighton ... mmmmm Anyone fancy starting a pot so we could afford this? Maybe ...

Not that I have a ton of thoughts on the matter ... but, 2007 .... What do we fancy doing for a live gig?
