Movin' On

Today is a great day in Michigan. You've read me ramble about the grayness of winter, well this week we have been "blessed" with snow---every day! So I remind myself of this wonderful development as I slip and slide to appointments lately. Yeah, driving is hazardous, but it's pretty out :)

Still feeling the after effects of last Saturday's show. DVD's should be ready sometime today. In a future posting (because I can't find the paper work right now) I will be sharing the list of comics who made the night so special for us here at Lamocu and for the Pinckney HS Football program. I suppose if I was really dedicated I could go through this mess right now but we had to do taxes this week and "piles" have been shifted from one location to another and...you know how it is. Suffice to say the list of comics will be worth it. One big thing for us after Saturday was that we got mentioned TWICE on LinkedIn about the show. Well, not us specifically, but the show, which is WAY cool. LinkedIn is strictly professional social networking, serious stuff and we thank those who took the time to write about the show. This is not to take anything away from Facebook, Twitter or My Space which we love, it's just that LinkedIn is what it is and we appreciate the kudos.

Our next Performance @ The Well will be March 20th and will feature Guy Robertson emceeing a pretty extensive Open Mic night, by that I mean it will probably go longer than the usual 30-45 minutes of the show. We have one band playing that night, Billy Paul's Mr. Hyde, and they will be rockin' after we have seen all the aspiring talent take the stage with Guy. We're going to be on a youth movement that night, pushing the hammer down on getting new talent to the stage. And I guess new talent does not have to be young. Actually we're finding more and more "mature" musicians who still haven't let the dream go---good for them and the stage is for them as well.

The coupon that Buffalo Wild Wings used to give out with every paid admission has been replaced with a dinner out coupon. What that is is a deal where people can go to BW's before the show, make it a full night out, and proceeds from the dinner hour will go to our featured charity.
BW's already does something similar for groups on special evenings thru the week, this is something they have altered just for us and our program. So kudos and many thanks from all of us here at Lamocu to our friends at Buffalo Wild Wings!

Tiger Woods was back in the news recently, does anyone care? Personally I feel all confessions and apologies pale next to Letterman's. Gosh, even President Clinton's was better than Tiger's. And that's not saying much since Clinton's was pretty lame :)

Had a great meeting with Julie Smith (great last name huh) of LACASA earlier in the week and we might be doing a show for them in either April or May. We've been approached by 3 other organizations too but I feel they probably should go unmentioned until negotiations are finalized.

Well got to go for now, more to come soon. Remember to root for our hockey teams as they go for the Gold, keep your stick on the ice and stay tuned.
