Moose is right. This show always sells out, because it is such a fun time and serves such a great cause.
Tickets are still available, but not for long, so GET 'EM NOW. |

Will it be as good as Big Train's horn-infused gig in Hoboken this (or is it now last) evening? |

Ahem. Hoboken is still trying to cool off after Big Train set it ablaze last night.
(I also heard that the Nightmares were in top form at a recent Max Daniels gig.) |

Why did you post that pic? I thought you wanted people to come?!
Seriously, though, it's a great night and a most worthy cause. Looking forward to seeing a lot of you there! |

There's a rumor that this event is SOLD-OUT. It is not sold out. While we anticipate that this event will sell-out, there are still tickets available at both Robin Hutchins Gallery (Maplewood) and Maileboxes, Etc. (South Orange). You should get your tickets ASAP. Robin Hutchins Gallery will be open until 7 PM tomorrow night (Thursday) and Mailboxes, Etc. is open until 6 PM every night ... I also understand that Gary Shippy and Chris Dickson will be at the Maplewood train station tonight selling tickets ... They'll be hanging near the ticket window ...
This is a great event for a great cause. I also understand that the crack committee has lined up some way cool door-prizes and that Julie Porter is this year's Applause-O-Meter Girl ... Can it get any better?!
Thanks, Moose |

Do you guys have a snow date for the Battle of the Basement Bands? Rumor has it we're getting a lot of snow Saturday. |

Just The, I wish we could, but the logistics and planning are too big. 4 bands, merchant food, the hall, the PA guys. Yikes!
I shudder to think of re-scheduling.
Hopefully we won't get too much.
We'll be there. Hope to see you!
(We usually get a snow storm right around the Battle. I hate to think of what would happen if we held the show in June...the horror!) |

and this just in From Chris Dickson::
There is NO SNOW DATE for Battle of the Basement Bands. The event will take
place Saturday night, no matter what the weather. The great thing about
having this event locally is that no one will have far to drive. Rest
assured, if it's cold and snowy outside, it will be hot, funky and fun
inside! Don't let the weather scare you off. Get your tickets today ... |

According to weather.com, it looks as if the snow will not arrive until after midnight on Saturday night ... Just some snow showers on Saturday ...
Rest assured, even if it's cold and snowy outside, it will be hot, funky and fun inside! Don't let the weather scare you off. Get your tickets today ... this is going to be a heckuva party. |

we promise to spare no effort to heat up the OLS gym on Saturday.
Remember this hard and fast rule -- IT'S ALWAYS WARMER AFTER THE SHOW! |

We have made arrangements for the snow to fall elsewhere. In any case, the heat emanating from the stage will melt anything that does fall from the sky. |
