Unfortunately, I have met with the managers about our Road Trip needs and they don't think they are going to be able to help on July 27th. They are still interested in our group, but that date had already been booked by another manager, and the information did not get communicated in a timely fashion. I can't delete this thread, and there still may be a possibility of the other booking getting canceled.
Bottom line is, we still are in the hunt for a club.
Please contact your friends.

Sounds like a good idea to me. I wish I had a PA system to loan but I'm sure that someone's got one of those. Probably several someones. But if anyone needs someone to show up early and help set up, I'm up for that. Based on the number of people playing, I'm thinking we'd better start mighty EARLY.

The Roadtrip show would likely need to start at 6PM for networking and the music starting at 7PM. We have 53 artists currently signed up. We'll have some cancellations and as always with musicians, 10 won't cancel or show up. (I know.. hard to believe but it's consistent...). That means in reality we'll likely end up with 40-45 artists.. that means we'll still be done by midnight or earlier. If we pump it up to 65-75.. then we'll need to plan on being there until 1AM. Our record show was 65 artists in one night, but we had nearly 80 signed up...
And to the Ranger: It's called a Roadtrip. Common mistake.

Between Dan,Andy & I,I am pretty sure we can cover the back line except for drums. Two guitar amps,Bass amp & PA system with mics. The Venue sounds ideal to me! Great job Florida Ranger!

This venue fell through according to Ranger. Next week I will start making some phone calls myself.

Tucson's Cantina has a large banquet room......central location off Ulmerton in Clearwater. Don't know what their charge or meal deal might be. I know the owner if you want me to check. 727 - 530 - 0637.

Edited to say that I just heard that this might be a pricey option....

Hi Colin,
Thanks for the offer but these are zero budget events. We must find venues to host for free in exchange for free entertainment and a room full of patrons all night. In all other areas of the country in the past 10 years, that's never been a problem. I am sure we'll work out something in Tampa as well. We'll likely have 80-100 people at the event just among the musicians, let alone anyone they bring.

Ranger tells me he has a lead on another venue. I told him to go ahead and lock in it if they are available. (They need to switch an artist that is booked that night). Seems to be in a good location.
Watch for details.

Hey Ranger,
Any update on the venue?
