Bobby...no more talk of rain or snow or hail....or moisture...i would hate for that new rig of yours to get stuck....remember who assigns spots

 

[stan]

Its probably a pain in the ass, but what about auctioning off leftover bbq??? I'd donate ours. Hell, I'll donate some cooked pork butts as well, if you wanted. Lemme know.

Thanks....will talk to Jeff on the left overs..

Just an update - we've gotten a few sponsors lined up and working on more. Due to fewer sponsors this year, it looks like we may be without a band on Friday night which I'm a little disappointed in... it gives the public coming out for the People's Choice a more festive atmosphere. We're still working on that. So far, it seems that's the only thing we'd be lacking from last year.

To date, we already have five teams entered which is ahead of last year's pace. I have also already gotten nearly 100% CBJs who have responded to my email or emailed me from the KCBS Web site. Hope to get some more entries this week! Thanks for your support of the March of Dimes!

How much more do you need for the band? Who is it that you're looking into? I emailed some dudes: http://www.salamanderrocks.com

They're good.

Super drag....
"Thanks so much for thinking of us...

I'm sorry to say that we're already booked to play a fundraiser that evening.. It's not listed on our page because the venue isn't licensed to host live music.

One of our venues has links listed on their page to a ton of bands in town who may be able to help you.

Go to their links page to find the other bands."

A 12 pack and bottle of tequila will get Bob from MoKan singing every time...very memorable entertainment.

I have spoken to Bob Walkenhorst of "Steve, Bob and Rich" / "The Rainmakers" fame. He said The Rainmakers don't play together any longer but he and a buddy, Jeff Porter, play for about $750 for two hours and can add a bass player and the drummer from The Rainmakers (Pat Tomek) for $1500. I think they're a little out of our price range. The band we had last year I really like a lot (http://www.projectchameleon.net/). I think they were $1200 for 3 1/2 hours. Stan and I were discussing the possibility of a sponsorship - one business to sponsor the band. I think the band makes people's choice a better draw. I'm open to suggestions.

Jeff, is this the same band from Blue Springs? If so give me a call maybe we can get them for a little better price.

I'll get with you in the next day or two, Lee. I barely have time to breathe right now!

I have a pretty good rendition of Cocaine Blues from Walk the line (Think GAB in 2007). I can sing that if you want.
