Greg: There is money in the bank! Overall, after
it’s all “said & done”, we

w/ champagne toast, & Set 3: unsure of time.
1/23—SAT. JGB (Jerry Garcia Band) (This will
be the LVJBS’ 10th Anniversary show!) @ The

--group thought Moksha may be a great opener for
a 45-minute set. This way, the organ can be left
on stage and possibly used by both. More info TBD.
2/6—FRI. GARAJ MAHAL—if ‘NOISE’
wants to work with us for their First Friday Aruba
event, then we could use the Aruba for a $15 ticket.
If not, we can move it to the E-String for a $20
ticket. We will need about 166 people to break even.
The majority of the group voted E-String. More info
TBD.
2/25—THURS. EOTO (Michael Travis’ from
SCI’)-The majority voted YES for this, even
though it’s a weekday show. More info TBA.
2/28—SAT. moe. @ The Hard Rock Café.
Interests:
Cubensis: Still looking for a Saturday in early
March @ The Aruba. Unsure of the expenses. Group
voted “okay!” More info TBD.
Montana Slim String Band: Interested in March 6th.
Last time they played for a ‘split”
of the door. Group decided to “table”
this show, depending on Cubensis’ decision.
**Someone mentioned maybe teaming up with the local
Bluegrass Society for bluegrass shows. Greg said
we had contacted them previously and think they
have a “different” crowd.
Hot Buttered Rum String Band & Cornmeal (Interested
in March 24-28th). Group thinks this is a great
idea. More info TBA.
Hi8us (from Boston) are looking at May 6th or 7th.
Group says let’s hold off for Spring booking
since we have a plethora of upcoming Winter shows
to focus on. More info TBD.
**We discussed the ticket price of the NYE show
and finalized times for the poster to be made. Welcome,
Pete! (owner of the E-String) Thoughts were to possibly
have a buffet for ease of food distribution, a champagne
toast, drink specials, a beer sponsor, and doors/set
times.
After MUCH discussion, the group found it best to
have ONE price option (this including entrance &
a champagne toast @ midnight). All food and drinks
will be paid through the bar, as needed.
*Julie B. mentioned a possible Karaoke in between
sets on the front patio. The group was in favor
of this idea. Pete (E-String) introduced us to his
inexpensive Karaoke guy, John ($100).
*Ballots for the 2010 Election were handed out &
tallied. Greg will email the members who were not
present at the meeting, to vote for their choice
of 2010 Officers.
OPEN FLOOR
*Welcome to Lisa (NOISE). December 11th is Lisa’s
Birthday. She invited the group to join her &
her friends at ACES & EIGHTS Bar oat 310 S.
Decatur for her celebration. SHUFFLEFOOT & MEDUSA
TANGO will be playing, beginning @ 10PM.
*Jimmy brought up that Delta Nove is available on
2/12/09.
*Real big thanks to Paige & John for volunteering
at our last show. John was in a lot of pain and
made it to the show JUST to volunteer their door
spot. Thanks for being SO great! J
*Ericka thanked the 2009 Officers for all that “they”
did for the LVJBS this past year! J
