Need help with a gig-

We're booked sun May 24th at the Crocodile Rock in Allentown, PA. Gotta pre-sell tix.. and must sell at least 50 to get a guaranteed gig at the stone pony @ the jersey shore... a big deal to us..

So, if you are in the area and wanna come meet up, support a starving musician, or just stare at a hot blond singer (Valerie) .. visit my myspace page - there's a link to purchase tickets

Thanks, and sorry to beg in public.. but hey, I'm desperate

I wish I could help you out but will be fried after our gig the night before. Best o luck!

OK Sans... It's a small world afterall.

Unfortunately, I don't know anyone up that way Kramer, and I also have a day full of gigs on the 23rd. I have a potentially dumb question though:

I may be able to BUY A TICKET if the focus is on buying tickets, though will be unable to attend. Is the focus on getting the gig at Stone Pony ticket sales or show attendance? If it is ticket sales, I may be able to help by simply buying a ticket.

Like I said, stupid question... Worth asking though. Let me know brother!

sadly, yeah, it's more about ticket sales than attendance, and I thank you for your willingness to help out, although I wouldn't really ask you to buy a ticket to a show you can't attend! In fact, I feel pretty strongly against that, not that it's a horrible idea.. just that I would feel bad about it.

I was more speaking on the ideal that you (guys/gals) could not only support me, but get to see a show, have a good time, meet and stuff, which would be super cool.

Thanks again though, it's hard to turn that offer down (like I could physically decline it if you really wanted to purchase a ticket lol).. especially considering we as musicians never expected to have to support each other

I respect and understand that. Nevertheless, if the 24th starts creeping up and you need some more sales, let us know.

Take it easy Kramer.

Ditto!

Hell if I had an opportunity like that I'd be begging, like a dog!
I might even sell a gun and buy a bunch of tickets myself if it would promote my band. LOL Shameless, thats me!

FFS!

Is there anyone out there that will help Kramer?
You could write to folks you know near there.

Stop Talking. DO.

Kramer I don't know that many people here but I'll do my best.
That's a promise.

Chippy.

Thanks for the support guys - I really do appreciate it.

I try not to bother friends and family, and especially other musicians to support the projects, as I do firmly believe that is what fans are for! I understand it's the nature of the beast, and I go out and give support local bands and friends as much as I can, but still somehow feel guilty asking for it.

Also, I really would love the opportunity to meet you folks - I've become somewhat of a social whore over the last year just by doing the networking thing.. funny that I was a total isolationist two years ago.

Good times

Kramer I've let a few people know about the Gig and told them where it is. How do they go about getting tickets in any case please?

Cheers.
Chippy.
