Filling up FAST!

Hey kids! Now that my Google Account isn't suspended anymore (because I changed the name of my profile to "SkaPunk BowlingFest" - eat a dick, Google, like seriously.), I can give you all a proper update about stuff.

Thanks to EVERYONE that shared the last blog post, and the Youtube Promo I spent time on (as of today, it has over 300 plays!!!). Hopefully word gets out, and we get the whole fucking town involved! Without you telling people that I might not reach, those people wouldn't know how awesome this is, so thank you thank you thank you. :)

The Friday night/Saturday night band spots are filled up, leaving only Sunday slots. Sorry to those that didn't get back to me soon enough to get the time/day you wanted, but I gotta' fill 'em up, and I think it's fair to give spots to those that replied first. And yes, there will be a band listing coming out soon, so you know who is playing. The actual set times/days may vary because I got 45 bands involved here. Its a lot, if you've never planned anything like this before. Someone has to play Sunday night. Its the main reason I suggested people take that Monday off in advance, so you don't have to say, "Gee, I can't make it on Sunday, I gotta work on Monday." And trust me, you're not going to want to miss Sunday night. More on that later.

If your band hasn't replied to my confirmation email, do so ASAP, so you can get in on this event. Again, here's the instructions you need as a band:

Email the following things to phxprb@gmail.com -
  • Band name
  • members names (and ages)
  • Links to your tunes (FB, Reverb, YouTube, whatever you got.)
I'll get back to you as quickly as I can. Scouts honor. Also, if you didn't already know, I'll be featuring one Band of the Day on the FB/Twitter/Blog pages, starting Aug 18th, so your links and such should be accurate. I want people to see/hear your band beforehand. In my mind, its the right thing to do.

Bowling Tourney Info -
     I'm  not yet taking apps for bowling, however, you can get it filled out by downloading it here. You'll need 4 team members, and maybe a 5th, if you think one of your team members may be too drunk to play. If that's the case, you've got the right kind of friends. Cost is $150 ($37.50 per team member). I won't be taking team registration until June 25th, at Tempe Village Lanes, at 4407 S Rural Rd, from 6pm to 930pm. I'll also be out at Warped Tour June 27th taking registrations there too all day. Bring your cash, or a credit card to either location. Registration is limited to 30 teams ONLY...unless we get a HUGE amount of interest, and we can figure how to go from there. So get your registrations in early and on time.
    Bowling prizes? Yes, there are some. Top 4 teams go home with CASH and a super fucking sweet trophy. The rest of you? Sorry, but I'll try and get you some Pabst Blue Ribbon swag. Wait, I mean "stuff". Fuck "Swag". Its a stupid word. Sorry for using it. Won't do it again.

Who's fucking excited? I am. beyond excited. And the 2nd promo video comes out in.......22 days, and it will have venue announcements in it, so get stoked for that.

"Are all the venues close by?" Yes, they are.

In an effort to save you guys a ton of hassle on DUIs, I'm trying to arrange for Discount Cab to have 2 taxis at each venue at all times, so you can catch a ride, and a buzz, without catching a DUI. I'll speak from experience, they suck, and I recommend avoiding one at ANY cost. Seriously. DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE. I want y'all to have fun and get to all the venues safely, so you can come back next year.

3 day passes and tickets -

I am hoping these will be on sale by June 25th as well. I'm almost done designing them, then it's off to the presses. Tickets WILL be available online for individual nights ($7 each, except for the Sunday night at one of the venues. You'll find out why later.) The three day passes (which will be $30) will get you into ANY of the venues for the weekend, including Sunday night at that specific venue. $7 x 2 venues a night = $14 x 2 nights = $28. Might as well buy the weekend pass for the other $2, seriously. I'll have these at bowling registration and at Warped Tour too.

Bands: I'll get you some tickets before the 25th, so you can sell some yourself too. I'll make personal arrangements with you all to do that.

Beyond that...fuck. I don't know. How was your day?Oh yeah, sorry there was no nude photos. Gotcha!
