Hi All

We had a great time playing at the Venice BBQ today. Thanks to Adam and Warren for setting it up, and to Howard (fresh off the plane from Hawaii), Jacqui, Daffodil, Susanna, and Delia for coming out to play. Thanks to Brian who helped us out with the singing, and wrangled my music stand when it started to blow away. We learned something more about wind and music sheets today. Even the clothes pins I brought were not enough to completely tame the effects of nature. Thanks to Marta, for taking photos and video of the event.

 Looks like we were enough of a hit to be invited again for next year's event. Hopefully, next year we will have a sound check. The collected funds will go toward the cost of the website and business cards (thanks guys). 

On the heels of that sucess, we will be performing at the Coffee Connection's Java Jam Thursday, August 8th at 8 pm. Looks like this will be a nice long set (30-50 mins!!). Come early at 7pm, and see Julie Tan's set.. she is the organizer for the Java Jam, which occurs every second Thursday.

A reminder... Tuesday 7:30 pm August 6th is our next meeting. Just in time to practice our Thursday set!!
