Item 4: Secretary’s Report (Tiffany)

Item 5: Mayor’s Report (Jay)

A.  Color:  Turquoise

B.  Shows in Oregon often mix 2 bands for one set each.  Discussed thoughts about exploring shows like this held by LVJBS in the future. 


Item 6: Open Floor

 A.  (Jenny M.)  Let’s follow up on contacting Blues Society about possible joint endeavors.  We may discover new local bands.

B. (Greg S.)    TV Broken 3rd Eye Open reached out to Greg about their interest in doing a show between 9/19 - 9/23.  Greg will refer the information to The Sand Dollar to see if they are interested. 

D. (Greg S.)  Cubensis and Moon Alice would like to play a show between  10/13 - 10/17.  Yak Attack is also interested. 

E. (Jeffrey T.)  

1. Tecopa is in full force! Jeffrey will be running a side stage variety show so they will be looking for acts! This can be anything from acoustic acts, fun artsy performances, etc. 

2. Gambit, formerly known as E-String, is open and their PA system sounds great! They may be a place to consider for live shows.

3. There’s a Rolling Rhythm Cart currently being stored at a space with First Friday. There’s about 30 pieces of percussion instruments sponsored by Remo drums. Perhaps, we could look into peaking interest with Jammin On to store and use for various purposes. For example, Squirt the Shirt events with schools including drums and percussion.

G.  (Jessica G.)  There’s an online event celebrating Further Festival on July 9th. Check it out on goingfurther.com
