Nothing new to report, except the Production notes which will be reported in the Production minutes.
Vice President’s Report (Ian):
Funny story: When using the computers @ Festival 8, the last person using it before Ian was inquiring about the LVJBS. This person was a UNLV professor & didn’t know much about our local scene. Ian was able to give him more information about us.
Secretary’s Report (Jessica):
More volunteers needed for the CAP show this weekend. Please email besoljess@aol. com if you can help out. THANKS! J
Treasurer’s Report (Dan):
We have $ in the bank.
We lost under a grand on Lubriphonic.
We spent a little over $500 for Dark Star Orchestra. We had 340 paid. The new Hard Rock Café isn’t doing as well as planned, so we’ll see about future shows.

Mayor’s Report (Skip):
“Recovery Red” **Get well soon, Mr. Mayor!

Moksha next with 21 pts.
Delta Nove last with 13pts.

Greg to contact Isabella and inquire about a price quote. Then, Greg will email the members to vote. We may have Moksha open for Isabella, depending on the price quote.

moe. is available FEB. 24-28, 2010.
JGB is available Jan. 23 or 24, 2010. (Sat. or Sun.) Group voted and preferred SATURDAY over Sunday. The Hard Rock Café would be the best choice option for this show, yet the HRC prefers our shows be held there on Sundays, so they can have a DJ on Saturdays. If HRC is not available for Saturdays, then The Aruba or The E-String is preferred.
**We did discuss having an LVJBS 10th Anniversary show, group discussed having this “party” on a SATURDAY only.
EOTO is available Thursday, Feb. 25th (This is SCI’s Michael Travis’ band). Group decided that they would like to see EOTO, if moe. is not happening.

JunoWhat? is available Feb. 23-25 (Tues.-Thurs. ). This band has Dominic from the Motet on Saxaphone. Group says it depends on moe. that same week. Maybe JunoWhat can open for Eoto, if that happens?
