Happy Birthday!

Hi followers, I could call you ladies and gentlemen, but you know what you are...

Today is a huge day around here at Lamocu, it's someone VERY important's birthday. Someone who has touched all of our lives and made them better. Yes, I am speaking of none other than...

Eric Clapton

More later so stay tuned.

Performance @ The Well 3/20/10

Mr. Hyde, shown performing at Harpo's last year will be our featured entertainment this weekend. Their show will follow an extended Open Mic session hosted by our very own, Guy Robertson, seen here practicing his "mug" shot!

Open Mic performers are asked to register before 7:30 pm this Saturday evening AND are requested to bring five (5) fans who will get in at HALF PRICE. Spread the word to anyone you know who may be considering following their dreams in music. This is an excellent opportunity to experiment, fine tune or just have some fun. There is a "definite" possibility that DVD's of performances can be purchased as well.

If you're not an aspiring performer, not interested in getting on stage yourself, but you're interested in good music, come and party with us! Giving local talent encouragement will do your heart good and rocking to Mr. Hyde will be sure to put a smile on your face. Tickets are available on Event Brite or at the door. Come and experience what Performances @ The Well is all about.

Until tomorrow, stay tuned.

Big Happenings...well, for us

Some big happenings around here this week, as of today tickets for the March 20th show at The Well are available on Event Brite http://www.eventbrite.com/event/600205230. Later this week the unveiling of lamocuproductions.com. We actually figured out how to do a "page" on Facebook last week and we're feeling pretty full of ourselves here. We need something like the printer to jam or fax machine to freak out to bring us down to earth. That said, let's move on before those two things happen :)

Received the DVD's of the Feb. 20th show the other day and they look pretty good, except for the fat guy with the fedora in the beginning. Will be sending them out with a note apologizing for tardiness to our esteemed comics hopefully tomorrow.

More later, got to learn some more "tech" stuff now. Be careful out there and stay tuned.

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.

The Aftermath

Last Saturday night proved to be a success. Jordan Jones was outstanding as our MC, he made the evening. We did have seven outstanding up and coming young comics but it is an art to MC an event correctly. You have to entertain while at the same keeping the flow of the show running. Jordan Jones, a quality stand up in his own right and a pro in working a show!

Many thanks Jordan from Lamocu Productions and the Pinckney HS Football program.

Until next time...stay tuned!

Performance @ The Well 2/20/10

Tomorrow night The Performance @ The Well will feature our night "standups", performing to raise money for the Pinckney HS Football program. We have a great lineup of standups looking to make their mark. We are very pleased to have veteran Jordan Jones emceeing the evening for us and almost all of our performers are regulars on the Detroit area circuit. So there shouldn't be any stage fright. :)

Next month on March 20th, we will be going back to our music format with Guy Robertson emceeing and running the Open Mic at the first part of the show. Have to run now, got new gift certificates from Buffalo Wild Wings to pick up for tomorrow.

Remember, doors open at 7 and show begins promptly at 8. See you there and stay tuned.

Comedy Expansion

Today we expanded our Meet Up capabilities when we formed A Comedy Production! It was long overdue with all the attention we have been paying to "just" the music industry :) You can check it out at http://www.meetup.com/AComedyProduction/?success=settings

The timing seemed right with our show coming up on the 20th at The Well. We are very excited about this development and look forward to expanding it to the fullest. Once again advance tickets are available through Event Brite and doors will open promptly at 7pm on the 20th.

Meeting with Doug of Buffalo Wild Wings this afternoon, he has more fund raising options, can't wait to see what he has to offer. At this time it only seems fair to acknowledge our sponsors who making all this possible. We are indebted and grateful to The Well, Buffalo Wild Wings and Signs By Tomorrow for believing in what we're doing and giving us the chance to make it a reality. Aside from God, our families and clients...you guys are the 3 most important people in our lives here at Lamocu :) Well gotta go, keep your stick on the ice and stay tuned.
