INTERESTS:
*An email was sent from musician, Matt O’Ree. Greg had posted it to the Yahoo! Group. Those who listened to it enjoyed it, but said it was more of a “classic rock cover-sound”. Greg will connect Matt to the Brass Lounge for a future date!*Infamous String Dusters (interested in April 15-17). The group is eager to have them here soon. More info TBA.

FUTURE INTERESTS: (These bands were mentioned by members & members want them here! Check ‘em out & if they come our way, you’ll have your say!)*Diego’s Umbrella
*The Nibblers
*Juno What
------------------------------------------------------------------------
OPEN FLOOR:
*Ballots for the 2012 Officers were handed out to eligible members……See results below……
*Greg, Jimmy, & Frobi met with The Rumor Hotel regarding the use of their facilities for an upcoming, future, weekend of 4-20 mini-festival. Bands have been contacted and show excitement. Everything was moving forward until the ‘GM’ of the hotel was dismissed. The idea was pitched to the new ‘GM’ and she likes the idea. They are still working out numbers. The venue has a few banquet halls/space for music and 495 hotel rooms. In order to make our money back, EVERY one of the 495 rooms would need to be sold. It was discussed that this event could be a future ‘Xigolati Cruise’ festival #2, since that event is looking for a ‘new’ home. Because of the need for more advertising to hold an event of this size, it is 75% NOT going to happen in April, as originally planned. More info TBA.
*The Community Donation Jars have been a success so far! November raised $70 for Shade Tree women/children’s shelter. The ‘Pit Stop’ is our organization for December. Donations were asked at the meeting, as well. Look for raffle tickets and the donation jar at our upcoming shows.
*Our ‘FACEBOOK Group’ will SOON be a ‘FACEBOOK PAGE’…..Be on the lookout for future show announcements via the PAGE…..
*MEDUSA TANGO will play a FREE show on Friday, December 9th @ The Freakin’ Frog, on Maryland Pkwy, near UNLV.
*2012 Elected LVJBS OFFICERS are:
President: Greg Serensits
Vice President: Roland Fornoff
Treasurer: Daniel Rugotzke
Secretary: Jessica Grant
Mayor: Dustin Terry
