The Guild is expanding....

Hello everyone, some major changes have been happening around here so sorry for the late notice, but we are having a get together this Saturday the 26th. Usually it is our comedy open mic night with the improv troupe "Whatever You Call It" and that will still happen but...we have had thoughts of doing a local version of Prairie Home Companion (for lack of any other comparison) or for those of you "old" enough, the Ed Sullivan Show---basically a VARIETY show. So why not start now?
The improv group needs more of an audience so Guy Robertson and possibly Al Smith (not me) who both performed at the last Guild meeting will be on hand and we're welcoming all musicians to come and join us. We will hopefully be taping some segments to try and get a feel of what the variety show would be like and possibly promoting it to PBS or local cable outlets. It could turn out to be a "local" version of Austin City Limits---hey, who knows the potential, it is there all we need is YOU.
And here's some more exciting news, now admission has been cut to $5 AND paid members/patrons will still get the $5 food coupon for Buffalo Wild Wings. So for your $5 you get entertainment and food, think about it. And we're done there yet, we're still trying to sweeten the deal even more in coming weeks, it's just unfortunate we have to charge at all, but it is a great venue and rent needs to be made. Now as a final bonus...if you perform you can get in free as well and get the food coupon.
I don't know about you but I'm pretty excited on the direction we are going and hope you will be too. Come join us and let us know how we can make this effort even better in the future for you. Any questions please call Lamocu Productions @ 810-623-8131.
