FEBRUARY 2022 LVJBS Meeting Minutes
Date: February 1, 2022
Meeting Start: 7:10 PM
Location: Jacksons Bar & Grill
Attendees: Johnnie T, Paige T., Jessica G., Teah H., (Greg by text)
Item 1: President’s Report (Johnnie):
“Thanks for coming!”
*Heard back from BBLV regarding the ticket distribution for the Melvin Seals/JGB show. All of the comp-tickets were picked up, except one. (That person did cancel the ticket need, but within 24 hours, not the needed 48 hours. Be sure to remember to not get penalized for future ticket registrations, a 48 hour window is needed to allow time for the ‘runners-up’ to get on the will-call list.)
*A concern was had from one of our longtime members in why a ticket was not offered for her proper ‘tagging of 5 non-members’ & we identified the problem was the lack of ‘registering’ the ticket request on the WildApricot email. We are adding her name to an upcoming raffle, due to the miscommunication to compensate this mistake. **Please be sure to follow ALL steps of the ticket process.
*Also, BBLV has offered ‘unlimited’ comps for LVJBS ‘Members, Friends & Family’ for the upcoming ‘Rock & Roll Playhouse”, matinee--all-ages event, for Saturday, February 12th, featuring CATFISH JOHN. Be on the look out to sign-up & register your ticket requests on WildApricot. Also, a Facebook, “LVJBS February Friends & Family” event invite will soon go out.
*The WildApricot’s webpage for registration has been modified and updated. Check it out!
Also, there’s now a ‘Virtual Tip Jar’ link for events, so donations to specific bands/events can be made.
*When LVJBS posted and asked, “what jambands should be contacted for future Las Vegas BBLV shows” & over 256 comments were made. We have narrowed it down to the top 10 and will be providing BBLV with the list.
*Spoke with ART DURAN, a BBLV Employee who also plays in a local, reggae band. We will be sharing his contact info with SaddleN’Spurs for a possible future event.
