Performance in The Well

This Saturday night at The Well we kick off our 2010 season, and we hope you make it. In addition to great entertainment and a great cause, the Autism Foundation has now provided FOOD! I mean we have concessions before (the basic pop, candy, chips) but The Hope For Autism Foundation is providing a hot dog stand with chips, pop and bottled water. Just another way for our featured charity to make money to be sure but, taking this initiative "really" enhances our show. There will also be a 50/50 drawing and partial proceeds of all the performer's merchandise (8x10's, DVD's) and ticket sales will be going to the foundation as well.

The Well is a fantastic place and everyone here at Lamocu and all the performers are very excited to be there. Tickets again are $10 with each paid admission getting the $5 food coupon good only at the Howell Buffalo Wild Wings! We're stretching your entertainment dollar AND making you feel good about doing it but helping this worthy cause.

All systems seem to be in place, though the next two days have plenty of final details to attend to. Pictured here is Lauren Alm, our headliner for the evening and with her will be her special guest Jessica Protetch. Our own Guy Robertson will be getting the evening started followed by the power trio from Pinckney, City Limit. If you haven't yet, check out the links to My Space for both Lauren and City Limit and see what the excitement is all about. Guy...well someday he'll have internet and a My Space site...until then we'll have to be content with his smiling mug shot...:)

Now here's some exciting news. Marcy Hornsby-Mohr, one of the driving forces of this foundation was interviewed about this show two days ago on WHMI. The interview will be played again Friday and Saturday on the air. For more information on the Hope For Autism Foundation go to http://www.hopeforautismmi.wordpress.com/ or you can email Marcy at marcy@yisagency.com

The Well is located at 7191 Grand River and doors open at 7pm! Feel free to call for details. Until then, may the force be with you, keep you stick on the ice and stay tuned.

Year Kicks Off!

This Saturday, January 23rd, kicks off our concerts at The Well. Each month we will be showcasing local talent of all genres while trying to raise money for worthy causes. This month the cause is The Hope For Autism Foundation. To learn more about what this fine group http://www.hopeforautismmi.wordpress.com/ ; or, email Marcy Hornsby-Mohr, one of the founders at marcy@yisagency.com .

Performing this Saturday is some great local talent. For starters, our MC for the evening is the one and only Guy Robertson. Guy in addition to being a personal friend, is also a veteran in the world of live performances & open mic's. Guy will be opening the show with some of his originals, some classic covers and support anyone willing to take the challenge of the "open mic".

Guy Robertson, here pictured on the left.

After this, Guy will be bring out some wonderful young, local talent to perform. First there will be the threesome, City Limit from Pinckney High School. You have seen and read about these young men before and with good cause. Only high school Juniors, yet they perform like seasoned veterans! They "wowed" the crowd at the "Rockin' 4 Gleaners" show back on November 21st and hope to have DVD from that show on sale this Saturday. In fact a portion from all merchandise and concessions sold this Saturday will be going towards our featured charity this month, The Hope For Autism Foundation, in addition to proceeds from ticket sales.

Then our featured performer, all the way from Howell, Michigan...another name you have read and heard about,(especially from us)... Lauren Alm!

Lauren will be performing with her special guest Jessica Protetch. It all promises to be a night to remember, so come join us. Doors open at 7pm, show starts promptly at 8. Tickets are still just $10 for all this entertainment AND you still get the $5 off food coupon for Buffalo Wild Wings and now, your money helps fund a most deserving cause as well. Where can you go and get this much entertainment and the good feeling you're helping others? No where that we know of, so come on down to the Well this Saturday and spend some time with us.

Got to go now. If you have any questions about this Saturday or how YOUR performer or YOUR fund raising group can be part of all this, drop us a line or give us a call. Until our next posting, stay tuned.

TGIF!

TGIF, can stand for a lot of things but the one it's most noted for is Thank God It's Friday. Now I can thank God for a lot of things but just because it's Friday is not one of them. Oh I still excite at Friday, but when you have shows on the weekend it's not like Friday is the end of the week and I can loaf and relax for the weekend. Anyways, I do have a lot to be thankful for and tomorrow's show IS one of them.


For one thing, tomorrow represents our first show at The Well! The performers for Rockin' 4 Gleaners and myself are very excited about this venue. Not only has this facility opened their arms to us, they have jumped on board to become a sponsor for our shows. That may not mean much to some, but to have people look at what you're doing and see "value" in it and put their name on it, like The Well and Buffalo Wild Wings have done, is priceless. I'm thankful to our two sponsors and know that with their credibility we're going to grow even more.


Also, The Well was there when we were in limbo, unsure of our next step. That's something to be thankful for! Being our first show there we're also thankful for all the friends who have said they will come and help out with various tasks throughout the evening. Knowing that you will never have a second chance to create a first impression, makes all of us at Lamocu "thankful" for our friends.



Then there are the performers for Rockin' 4 Gleaners, we're thankful we have met and established relationships with them. We're thankful for Gleaners, not so much for what they do for us, but what they do for our community! Being associated with Gleaners is an honor we do not take lightly. It is a privilege to be a small part of what they do. Thanks Michelle---you're the greatest!




Hopefully tomorrow we will get a promo photo of Mr. Hyde to show you (every attempt before has failed, lol) but we would be remiss if we didn't give thanks to them. Mr. Hyde is compromised of three individuals who refuse to let their dream die. They're not kids and have been told they are "...too old to rock and roll but too young to die..." but will not surrender to such thoughts! And thank God for that! They have been an inspiration for all of us here; in fact Bill Welsh, the founder of Flannel Nation records, is the lead singer of Mr. Hyde, so you know they are people dear to our heart. But until that promo picture comes through, we are destined to show you the other two performers we are thankful for and they are NOT too old to rock and roll. We're very thankful we have met...


















A HERO FALLS (L) and
CITY LIMIT (R)

With all that said, we need to conclude with a very special thank you to God for letting us do what we do for a living! Rockin' 4 Gleaners is tomorrow at The Well, tickets are $10 and include a $5 food coupon to Buffalo Wild Wings in Howell. 3 bands, food coupons and the satisfaction you're helping your community---there's no better entertainment value around! Well lots to do for tomorrow so we'll sign off for now. Be thankful no matter what day it is and hope to see you all there at the show. Until next time keep your stick on the ice and stay tuned.

Rockin' 4 Gleaners!

Saturday, November 21st, 2009 come to the Insights Bldg. in Brighton to help raise awareness and funds for Gleaner's Food Bank here in Livingston County. Show will start and 7pm, admission is $10 but you will receive a $5 food coupon good at Buffalo Wild Wings in Howell.

Bring no food, this is not a food drive. Gleaners can do more with CASH!!! Try and bring a little extra cash to support our performers that night and their merchandise sales. Lamocu is very proud of the efforts these performers are putting together to make this event happen. It will be hosted by Uptown Sound and their band, Mr. Hyde and will feature two of our favorites...A Hero Falls & City Limit. For more information please call us at 810-623-8131 or email at lamocu007@gmail.com. See you there!

Great night of football.

Wow, it's been awhile since I felt this way...but tonight our JV team beat Hartland 44-15! For the first time in almost 10 years, the JV program at Pinckney is guaranteed a winning record and the first time since I have been with the program. I'm so proud of these young men, ...

but for now, on to some serious celebrating.

Oh yeah, there IS a show this Saturday at InSights, featuring the return of City Limit...but we're 5 and 2 with two games left. Tickets as usual will be $10 adults and $5 students and there will be a fund raiser for the Deshane foundation...but we're 5 and 2!

More later, so stay tuned!

Preparing for Saturday.

Had a pretty productive day today, hope everyone else did too. Got flyer's and tickets into the school for this Saturday's show featuring City Limit. Met with manager of a club on doing a euchre tournament and it just so happened the board was meeting tonight! Karma in action!

Probably won't make the Turbo meeting tomorrow in Okemos, too much to do before the weekend, meetings are stockpiling in the evening. Hopefully one of the meetings will be with a youth director of a local church who wants to work with us. More later, so stay tuned.

City Limit returns to InSights!

The high school trio City Limit returns to InSights on Saturday, October 10, 2009. Lamocu Productions is very proud to bring this band back, many things have changed since the last time they performed for us...we have a sponsor now, a professional emcee etc etc. and we feel this will be their best performance yet.

If you haven't seen these guys yet, don't miss this opportunity. To see more of them check out their myspace site, http://www.myspace.com/citylimitmi

Guy Robertson, the talented troubadour we've discovered recently, returns to begin his run as our musical emcee and we're excited to have him. Guy's wit adds a dimension to his musical talent that makes him a very special talent and person as well. Guy has had extensive experience running Open Mic nights and we're honored that he has joined our team.

This night promises to be one of our best shows. In addition to the $5 coupon you will receive for your paid admission, Buffalo Wild Wings now has given us coupon books with values over $50 for sale for only $10. It almost doesn't pay not to come our music nights at InSights.

In addition to all this, Lauren Alm will be one of the performers this Thursday at the debut of the Art Gallery at InSights. The Gallery will be held every first Thursday of the month and we think Lauren will become a regular fixture in this program. To see what Lauren has been up to, check out her myspace http://www.myspace.com/laurenalmacoustic

We too have a myspace now, http://www.myspace.com/alsmithlamocu check it out, it's still a work in progress but so far we like it. Of course the video editor down the hall is constantly talking about how HE could make it better, but those of you who know him know he's mostly talk---so I just tell him to go back in his hole and get back to work. lol

Well that's about it for now, more to come, thanks for reading along, stay tuned.
