Hi Folks,
We are starting to plan our dates for the 2005 Just Plain Folks Roadtrips. Before we add cities, we need to know there are enough local/area members to justify setting up a local showcase and/or meeting. To justify a showcase, we generally require at least 20 interested artists to perform. (Our Roadtrip shows usually average 30-40 performers per show in most cities). To justify a meeting or Roadtrip stop of any kind, we need no less than 10 members interested, which is also the minimum number to have a local chapter. If you'd like us to stop in this area in 2005, please post a note here and let us know. If there's enough interest indicated, we will add a stop. We will be filming a documentary this year on the road and will include a few interviews of local artists as we tour, so if you want us to include your music scene, now is the time to say hi and speak up!
Brian

Hi Brian, I live in Northern Virginia/Wasington DC but would be interested in performing at an open mic locally. I haven't been to the area in a while but could probably draw out a small crowd of 5-10 people. Please keep me informed if there is anything I can do.

Hi AJ,
I am hoping to find some locals around here to launch a chapter. The population of this metro area is huge, so it could support an actual chapter. I am still hoping someone will pop up to get involved.

I live in Virginia Beach and I would love to get something like that started here. I guess my reply may be a little late but I have just found this site. I will spread the word of the forum even if the opportunity window for the tour has passed. Melanie Waters http://www.soundclick.com/bands/4/melaniewatersmusic.htm

Mel,
It's not too late. We're still visiting the SE later this year, and haven't decided on the final stops. If we can put together a showcase with at least 20 artists, we'll likely stop in any city in our path around the SE.

Count me in for Virginia Beach at least. That's my cowriter's home town, with Buddy's mother and sisters still there. I've been to Virginia Beach about eight times, with scoring the two films at Regent U, and seeing his mom and sisters over the years. Would love to be in that area again. Lots of venues to choose from, (beach front and other clubs).
There's also a theater in Norfolk, ("Naro Theater in Ghent").
Anyway, please add me to the preliminary list for V.B and Norfolk. I'll sign up the usual way when it comes time to do that.
Thanks, John Daubert (coming off some of the Northeast tour just yesterday, and already miss being a part of the current showcases.)
