For Real. PPMB Las Vegas Trip.

[Justin Banal]

so, what, like, $50 American?

No, I'm totally kidding. I love Canada/Canadians. I also love really cheap rent. I've never been to the west coast, but moving cross country (again) is not something I had in mind for the near future anyway.

$337.67

Will you be 21 yet?  If not, I don't suggest going.

I shipped a second batch of t's Adam, couldnt afford to send another free batch when you didnt get your shirts.  Ask anyone on this bored if they have never got their shirts.  Dateless, Spinoffs shit whoever else that has got them from me.  I never said you didnt print anything but come on 50 shirts for 200 posters is hardly even steaven.  Not even 6 months ago i offered up somemore shirts to you when i had a bunch of extras.  Realy its cool, it think this is gay but its cool if you are jaded man.  You put out great records and Ill keep buying them.

All ages in Vegas is realy not a possibility, you only have 3 venues, House of Blues, The Joint and the Pearl all of them way out of PPMB league.  Jillians is a possibility but rumor had it that they were quitting the all ages business in Dec.  You will have to do a 21+ show in Vegas.

The Secretions are a great fuckign band, and are actually in Vegas on Wed acording to their website.

So I haven't been paying much attention to this thread, but Carla tells me I should be because it potentially involves a lot of fun and great bands.  I'm gonna attempt to read it all, but for the sake of convenience, could someone maybe gimme a synopsis of what plans are being discussed?

Posting before reading...  Grivet, get off Chadd's computer.

February 28th through March 2nd, 2008.  Adam Alives Birthday.  Las Vegas.  The Hotel and Venue are still being worked on.

TJ didn't press up Adams shirts, or they got lost in the mail or something.

It will be fun.

[LivyStar]

looked over my school schedule last night and it turns out i will not have any vacation time around then. looks like i'll be skipping school then... but i figure if i have all my work done ahead of time then it shouldn't be a problem. i have an exam the week of the 28th but don't know the exact date yet...

Back in school, I was so punk that I wouldn't have known about my exam until the week of the 28th!!

yeah well i have the entire schedule for the next year in front of me as we "speak". that one particular exam will be focusing on global economy. i will have 12 exams in total. i know which weeks of the year they're in. on a side note, my summer vacation starts july 2nd. so the fest can't be before then.

i am more punk than you.

Uh. I'm supposed to have this shit-ton of work done in 11 minutes and I am two buildings short of having the 10 I'm supposed to have done.

Hmm... I think this is a major problem. Are they out of our league because of $$$ rental, size, what? The Fest- which admittedly was booked with insanely popular bands- sold out the Ottobar (800 capacity?) in a few days, months ahead of time.

I guess this leads to a 2nd question- what's the size/feel of Pop-Punk-Does-Vegas 2008?

And that leads to a 3rd question- catchy name needed, stat!

that isn't true, is it?

there is the weird movie theatre turned venue place and there is the venue out by the college campus where there is a really awesome record store.
I went to an all ages show there. it was a second floor venue. pretty cool.

[tjsuckerpunch]

House of Blues is inside of Mandaly Bay, approx 15000 to rent 2200 capacity
The Joint inside Hard ROck Hotel, opperated by AEG Live not for rent 2200 Capacity
The Pearl is inside The Palms and is opperated by The Andrew Hewitt Company and not for rent 2800 capacity

Jillians is all ages and holds 900, that would be the ideal place for you to do it at but it is up in the air right now if they will have shows after the first of the year.  If they do that is your best bet, all ages w bar, bowling alleys its in Freemont close to a ton of cheap hotels.

University Theatre closed about 2 months ago, they just ran out of money and Vegas is not a all ages freindly city and the promoters license fee is retarded high.  Zia Record Exchange does instores but i wouldnt call it a venue.

the shows weren't at the record store. the shows were in the brown building sort of like a mini mall  about a half a block away from the record store. same side of the street.

Read, Phrank, read!  He mentioned "University Theater" which is now closed.

I thought that was the big theatre across town by the weird small punk rock clothing store that always seemed pretty awesome.

as in two different venues. I guess i was wrong?

[tjsuckerpunch]

every all ages venue has went belly up except the 4 mentioned above.  Uni Theatre used to be past of a big record store
