Hi Folks,
This is a place to discuss our planned stop in Grand Rapids, MI during our 2007 JPF Roadtrip. Please stop in and say hi, feel free to ask any questions, and get to know the other folks involved. We know that not everyone likes to use message boards, but if you take a minute to give it a try (and check out the rest of the boards) I think you'll find they a valuable tool not just for this roadtrip, but for learning info on nearly any topic you need, and making friends, co-writers, bandmates and business contacts of all types and levels. So please jump in, the water's fine!
Brian

Halloooo!
Just checking in here….been a while!
Working on getting my songwriters group members in on this (Grand Rapids Songwriters Alliance). Right now, I have confirmation of interest from 9 performers in our org, and hopefully will have another half dozen more when all is said & done.
Really looking forward to this! Don’t know what we’re going to do for a venue tho. Not really sure how to go about it.

Looks like we have a venue...Four Friends Coffeehouse in downtown GR.
And a dynamite list of local performers.
Thanx to Ralston Bowles for getting involved with the venue search. ;-)
Really, really looking forward to this!

I didn't even know we had a Grand Rapids Chapter. I would be interested in talking to anyone involved in the Chapter. It's a bit of a drive from where I live but closer than Chicago by a long shot.

We have a very nice show stacking up in all 3 Michigan cities. We may even find the smallest of the 3 turns out to be Detroit!

Hey Brian! Any further sign-ups? When can we expect some kind of performance order list?
When do you hit the road?
Tanx!

Also....John Sinkevics of the Grand Rapids Press has been trying to reach you....says you haven't answered any e-mails.
He's doing an article for next Sunday's edition...the day before the event.
