i work wednesday night at 11pm, so i won't be able to make it, but i can show ya'll where it's at and you can crash at my pad afterwards

[Rob]

as charlie brownstone would say... rats! oh yeah, eddie v. would also say that, rats! either way, we need to play another gig as pronto as possible

[rayperez]

amen to that...playing another gig that is...

i'm off on thursdays and fridays now, and mel told me jitterz has open mic on thursdays...

..gabe, the owner of jitterz, left us a comment on our myspace page saying if we ever wanted to gig there just to let him know....so there's one possibility....

...but i guess we must also think of all of our alcoholic friends who wanna watch us play at a bar...so maybe ask ruben and abram to pick out a spot they think might be cool, and has drinks....

she also told me about art awakenings....they serve alcohol i think...

....so one gig for the thinkers, and one gig for the drinkers...

[Rob]

yeah, i'll tell ruben to get on it, he checked out a "battle of the bands" that went on this past saturday for me... but he was informed that the spots were filled, but they could put us on standby in case a band dropped out then we could take their spot, but we would have to be there waiting for the just in case.... and i was like nah, no one is gonna miss out...
Dude tell Melvin to book us somewheres, and i am just chatting with this girl rebecca from edinburg... she says she has brio on from myspace... and said she wasn't able to make the boiler room... she says art awakenings is cool though, her friends "24 hrs" from donna are playing there
woh, another instant message asking bout brio........
i'll write back later, gotta spread the word...
you take this love!
