LAS VEGAS
JAMBAND SOCIETY
Members' Meeting Minutes--July 13, 2010
Meeting Begins: (Greg) 7:42PM “Not bad! Hey
Cressy! We’re coming to order. You’re
the biggest ‘chatty-cathy’…..Well,
I’m number one!”
President’s Report (Greg):
Let’s begin with the High-Sierra, woe. is
Greg for not being there, discussion:
“Excellent
time had by all.” “Jen & Frobi drank
all of Jimmy’s beer”. “It was
better that Greg wasn’t there.”
Question asked: “What happened to the Edward
Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeroes show?” It
was scheduled for the House of Blues, some scheduling
conflict. A phone call was made to the Hard Rock
Café to host the show there. For some promotion,
by LVJBS, there were 600 paid.
Because of our help with the Hard Rock Café,
we have been locked-in as using the venue for any
upcoming Halloween/Fall after shows, in case the
rumored Phish shows occur.
We will now work with the HR Café, N.O.I.S.E.
& other non-profits to lay the basis for the
ground-work for a local chapter of the ‘REX
Foundation’ (a long-time Grateful Dead benefit
foundation which, in the past, has had autographed
guitars, etc. donated and raffled off for needy
groups/non-profits) . Anyone wishing to be involved
with the development, please contact Greg lvsmojoe@yahoo.
