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.

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.

This Just In!

This is a special day for us here at Lamocu Productions! Not only have we been blessed with partnering with some wonderful talent in that last few months such as Lauren Alm, Will Springsteen, Mr. Hyde & Uptown Sound (who have allowed US the privilage to represent them). Today we became the management for the Partly Brothers! For experienced professionals such as Luti and Brian to see value in our work is a great compliment. To experience more of the Partly Brothers please go to their MySpace site, www.myspace.com/partlybrothers and check out their cd "From The Start" from James Music.

"From The Start" cd's, autographed posters of Luti and Brian and merchandise from all the acts we represent will be available at concession stands at our events. Stay tuned for developments as they occur and thanks for following along.
