OK, folks, official word is that the only official showcase will be Monday, 8/11, at Wise Fools. We can't afford to pay for a room, so there goes the big room at the Abbey for the 12th--we can sign up for a bunch of slots for their open mic, but we need to be there in person to do it--each of us. No signing up a block (though if we take a bunch of 4-song slots I don't see why we couldn't share them with other JPF members). Was hoping to get Bar Vertigo, but RIpley hasn't been able to hook me up with the booker (and they may have been booked long before this). We could try to meet at my place for bagels Sat or Sun. aft. (Brian will arrive around midnightSun/Mon) to preplan as much of the logistics as we can--unfortunately, all my other evenings are taken with meetings, doctors' appts. or gigs.Be forewarned--parking will be tough, as they're tearing up my street for water work.
