Author Message   Ironman Posted on Tuesday, January 9, 2001 - 10:13 am:        I am new in town and I have been seeing posters around town for the Battle of the Bands later this month? Anybody have any information on this?   Moose Posted on Tuesday, January 9, 2001 - 10:33 am:        This is a wondeful event for a great cause... Habitat for Humanity. I have been to every one since it started three years ago, and have had great fun each time. This year, I believe it's five local bands. Big Train is my favorite. Great dance music. Food and beer are supplied with the price of admission. Go and have fun!   Nancy Posted on Tuesday, January 9, 2001 - 8:13 pm:        Ironman, Tickets for this event are available at the Concierge Desk at the Maplewood Train Station, from Habitat for Humanity Newark (973-624-3330), or from members of the participating bands. All proceeds go to Habitat for Humanity Newark. You must purchase and pick up tickets before the event on January 20th, NO tickets will be held at the door. Buy early, it's been sold out each year! Have fun, dress casually, and be ready to dance!   Chris Posted on Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 4:14 pm:        The Battle of the Bands is the Maplewood/South Orange party of the year!! Lots of fun and lots of great music. All the bands are great. And it is all for a good cause. It is a great night!!   Mem Posted on Thursday, January 11, 2001 - 5:53 pm:        Is it generally for couples?   Chris Posted on Thursday, January 11, 2001 - 9:25 pm:        No, not really. My sense of it is that it is just a real nice neighbors and friends kind of thing ... It is a real good night and I think you will have a good time. If you need tickets, let me know. soul29@home.com   Musicme Posted on Friday, January 12, 2001 - 10:26 pm:        The Logistical Nightmares will be playing at 7:30 sharp. Set list to contain music from Springsteen, WAR and Sly and the Family Stone. If this is your idea of good dancing music, get there early to insure a front row position. Last year, some of you might remember The Steamers, also the first rock 'n roll band. Members of the Steamers have joined forces with The Nightmares to form the uber-group. Also joining will be Lenny Piero and Sal Fischer - both of South Orange. What a fest it will be! Don't forget to vote for your favorite band. Vote early and often. Additional ballots will be available for purchase. May the most influential band win. Hangin' chads indeed!   Chris Posted on Saturday, January 13, 2001 - 2:00 am:        Uber-group? Uberfest?   Chris Posted on Saturday, January 13, 2001 - 3:57 pm:        Get there early! As an added incentive to get there early and hear the groovy sounds of Logistical Nightmares, we will be raffling off a FOUR PACK of NJ Devils tickets valued at $340. $85 tickets! Section 126 Row 24. Great seats. Your ticket stub gets you in the drawing that will take place at 7:29 PM, just before the Logistical Nightmares start playing! WHAT A DEAL! Get there early! E-mail soul29@home.com for tickets and information   Pcg Posted on Saturday, January 13, 2001 - 10:07 pm:        I went last year and had a blast! Lots of friends, good neighbors and fun.   Ejt Posted on Sunday, January 14, 2001 - 8:21 pm:        Where is it held?   Chris Posted on Monday, January 15, 2001 - 8:39 am:        Our Lady of Sorrows Gymanasium in South Orange. Prospect and 4th. The entrance to the gym is around the corner from the church on Academy Street. Doors open at 7 PM. As of this morning, there are less than 100 tickets left and these will go fast. Tickets are available at the Concierge Service.   Ejt Posted on Monday, January 15, 2001 - 7:00 pm:        Thanks Chris!   Chris Posted on Monday, January 15, 2001 - 10:04 pm:        And did I mention what a nice distraction the Battle of the Bands is from all this revaluation stuff??
