Date: Tuesday, September 3, 2024

Meeting Start: 7:05 PM

Location: Cheba Hut (4550 S. Maryland Pkwy)

Attendees: Jessica G., Paige T., David deG.

Item1: President’s Report (Jessica):

“Hello & Welcome to the September, quarterly All Members’ Meeting!”

A.    We have had a successful Marketing/Advertising partnership with Brooklyn Bowl Las Vegas for the past month!  They have graciously provided us with 10-20 tickets to ‘lotto’ off to our ‘Members and Friends of’ LVJBS.

*There are no BBLV September jam-rock events.

*Will request the following shows for an October partnership:  Dropkick Murphys (10/6), Rival Sons & Clutch w/ Black Stone Cherry (10/10), Highly Suspect w/ Dead Poet Society (10/13), The Crane Wives w/ Rett Madison (10/24), Bowling for Soup (10/25)

B.  RELIX (Harrision Ezratty) finally replied to the July email on Aug. 29^th.  They are not going to be involved with the Bender Jamboree as thought and wanted to discuss future BBLV tables.  I mentioned the lack of ‘jamband’ type events at BBLV for Sept. & asked him to reach out to us once the BBLV calendar has events that He would like RELIX to represent.

C. The LVJBS did not have a table at the RED EYE GIN CopaRoom show this past Saturday.  We didn’t hear from Taylor until a few days prior, so decided to have a 50/50 Raffle instead.  (The Tuscany couldn’t allow us to do the 50/50 since the words ‘raffle’ were on the flyers/signage & not the word ‘donation’.  (Thanks to Paige for joining me (early) to try to raise some funds & note to ‘selves’ for the donation-wording needs for Tuscany events.) Awaiting more info on the monthly Tuscany/LVJBS presents events.

D.  LVJBS Holiday Party planning will need to begin soon. More info will be available at our October meeting. If you have any thoughts or suggestions, please contact an LVJBS Officer.

E.  Tecopa Takeover:  Dave B. couldn’t make tonight’s meeting and made contact with me prior.  The event will publically be announced soon. Music is now planned for the late afternoon/eve Friday, Nov. 8, throughout the day on the 9^th, and the morning of the 10^th (Friday-Sunday). Questions:  Will the Annual Cornhole Tournament be happening, Greg? (No Fuquas this year.)  Donation? The LVJBS will provide $750 for the event since it’s not as ‘large’ as the last event where $1k was provided.  The Tecopa Resort (Amy) will donate $500 to the LVJBS to help with the event’s ‘Porta-Potty’ costs. (Paige sent Dave the non-profit letter copy.)

• D.    We checked out the BONFIRE venue for Paige’s birthday gathering.  Thoughts on future events there?

TREASURER’S REPORT (Paige):

*We need to have more help with set-ups, volunteering, etc.  We need to come up with a ‘plan’ to get more helpers.

We made good money with the Shakedown Table weekends. We decided to give a gift card/package (movie cards/candy) to the Shakedown organizers and those volunteers who helped multiple times (decided number TBD) as a ‘Thank You’.

PEF Scholarship update on the 2024 recipients:  We had $500 returned from the given 3 scholarships. We decided that the 2025 Scholarships would be a total of 4 ($500/ea.) since the credit is had. 

ZEFFY update:  Awaiting Liani to update us on the new program that was looked into (will replace WildApricot, if so.)

H. The homepage of the website has now been edited, removing the Dec. 2023 events that were still showing.

New contact:

• A.   Promotors have made contact regarding an event with Steve Parrish (from Sirius XM 23’s Grateful Dead) is looking for a future gig of his Steve Parrish & Friends (includes a comedy routine, Q & A session, and some special guests).  They would require transportation and lodging.  Also, a side project of Kevin Scott (from Gov’t Mule) whose band incorporates professional wrestling and a possible Ric Flair (wrestling legend) as an emcee.  (We decided we are not interested at this time due to the costs and possible lack of LVJBS interest.)

We will ensure that the ‘steps to follow from now on’ for future ‘business deals’ will be shared in the email and ensure the Artist is aware of the ‘past recognition’ that was given.  We are sorry there was a miscommunication in what was needed/provided. (More info to be shared at our next meeting.)
• I.   We will soon look into a possible new website instead of keeping the pricey WildApricot.  WIX.com was mentioned by Liani. (More info to be discussed at the July 2024 Officers’ Meeting.)

Date: April 2, 2024

Meeting Start: 7:01 PM

Location: Virtual (Officers & Committee Heads)

Attendees:  Jessica G., Greg S., Paige T., Angela C., Shana B.

Item 1: President’s Report (Jessica): “Alright! Welcome all … We are in our 4^th month, second quarter of the year already!”

• A.    BBLV announced some of their employees moving on – One being one of our ticket advertisement/comp ticket connections (Kirk Reed). Jessica communicated with the other contacts from the March lottery tickets to see what ‘April’ tickets they might want to share with us.

• • BBLV replied and offered 10 comp tickets in exchange for event promotion for the following shows – Eggy April 18^th, Lil’ Smokies Bluegrass Brunch, April 21^st, Front 242 & Nitzer Ebb, April 25^th, LP Giobbi, April 21^st
  • Names are due to them by 4/16. Jessica will work on the GoogleForm to send to paid members asking for replies by noon, Sunday, 4/14.

B.   Our March Adopt-A-Highway roadside clean-up happened. Before the next clean-up event, Jessica will notify NDot (per their request) of the date, as well as their needed data (# of bags) afterward, so they can alert one of their crews to stop by and collect the picked-up trash bags.

C. Officers met at the Gutzats after the March Adopt-A-Highway clean-up to Inventory the LVJBS Archive. The next Inventory meeting will be on SUNDAY, MAY 5^th at the Gutzats. We are considering our next Adopt-A-Highway roadside clean-up on this day as well.

E.    Advertising with KUNV for April/May. We discussed a 30-second clip about the LVJBS with a familiar jam band in the background. Greg will help create the content for the clip.

F.     Greg will help add Liani as a Facebook Admin

G.   Many people have inquired about ‘how to vend’ at Robert Shatzer’s recently announced TUSCANY SHAKEDOWN VEGAS events.  Robert asked us to share his name and the vendor form with anyone who makes contact & to have them say ‘the LVJBS sent ‘em’.

H.   Robert (& his Tuscany crew of four) is asking for help on a viral-video-ad He wants to make…A variety of people saying ‘SHAKEDOWN VEGAS’ in “funny voices/accents”. The Tolsons plan to bring the LVJBS banner to the Sand Dollar and record a video.

I.     DONATION of the two FLUTES can take place on FRIDAY, APRIL 12^th @ 9 AM for 30 minutes.  The Band Director at Las Vegas High School (E. Sahara & Tree Line Road, near Hollywood) was excited and grateful to hear of our donation.  He wanted their ‘advanced band’ to be in class to share a song or two with those who attend. We’ll be meeting at the school around 8:50 AM to sign-in, get a Visitor’s Badge and will leave by 9:30 AM.

J.   Tiffany B. reached out concerning how the LVJBS Membership info on our website reads:  Single Membership/Couples Membership/Friend of LVJBS (non-Member)…It reads they will be notified of events and “eligible for open ticket offers”.  She asks if those ‘Friends of’ are eligible for lotteries, etc. if the $10/mo. isn’t paid. Jessica told her that it is for random shows, depending on finding more venues & not necessarily the BBLV or VIRGIN ones, unless there are extras. We discussed editing the wording on the website. (Greg to send new wording/edits.)

K.     WEBSITE:  Still reads December 2023 events on the homepage. We discussed the needed edits so Liani can help us make changes.

Item 2: Vice President’s Report & PRODUCTION Report (Greg): PRODUCTION REPORT (Greg):

                                    &

May 7, 2024 (In-person for Officers/Committee Heads, after Memorial Tree event @ Village Pub, Sunset)

• Date: February 6, 2024

• Meeting Start: 7:11 PM

  Location: Virtual (Officers)

  Attendees:  Jessica G., Greg S., Paige T., Angela C.

• Item 1: President’s Report (Jessica): “We’re off to a good start to 2024!”

• A.   Our first LVJBS show, CUBENSIS, was a success! The band members had a great time and were happy to return to Las Vegas. Approximately 148 tickets were sold and 80 tickets with House Seats. We anticipate receiving payment in the next few weeks.
• B.   The BBLV shows and the comp tickets went well.  All recipients showed up except one who will be removed from the next available ticket-comp lottery. I will continue to create Google Forms for future Lotteries since that seemed to work well.
• C.   I was able to leave a Fundraising brochure with the box office of BBLV.  JT will also mail one in.
• D.   Left a message & sent an email follow-up for Lanice at KUNV regarding what they can do for advertisement help for $200.  Awaiting a return call/email. We hope to promote membership for LVJBS.
• E.   Liani and her company JUKE HOUSE have been a wonderful help in sharing the info from the Facebook page to our WildApricot members’ emails.  Liani is now an honorary member. At the next meeting, we will vote to create a Social Media Committee and nominate her as the Committee Head.
• F.   Liani has added the LVJBS as an LVBS sponsor for their website we will do the same.
• G.   The two FLUTES we have had donated from one of the SaddlesNSpurs patrons will be brought to my school’s music directors to send to the repair/check-up shop (Kessler & Sons) to let us know if they can do a little tune-up or let us know what might be needed before our Springtime donation to the High School band.  More info TBD.
• H.   We need to pick a date for the Officers/Committee Heads to go to the Gutzats’ to work on the ‘Archive’ database/pot-luck.
• I.   The last two Adopt-a-Highway events were canceled due to weather. One possibility is to schedule work on ‘Archive’ database and Adopt-a-Highway event on same day.
• J.   Attended the LVBS’s Membership Appreciation Luncheon @ The Composer’s Room in the Commercial Center on East Sahara.  This room has a great stage area with moveable tables for a close-up dance floor space and a bar in a separate area from the stage (possibly for all-age events?) The food from the chefs, that the LVBS provided, was very enjoyable.  The room seems to open in the evenings at 5 PM for music/dinner, but could possibly be rented out for evening events or daytime events like the LVBS Membership event (1 PM-5 PM). The LVBS had photos shared on the screen from their past year’s events/celebrations while folks were entering and mingling.  Also, had projected photos being shared while the musicians were performing.  The LVBS President shared a slideshow of their 2023 recap, their sponsors, and their membership list of names, and gave the LVJBS and myself a shout-out about wanting a future collaboration. Could this be a possible venue?
• K.     Venues to check out:  Craig Ranch Amphitheater and the Beverly Theater.
• L.     Our Mayor, Shana, has mentioned what she can be doing to help out more as Mayor instead of simply ‘choosing the safety-alert color’.  Thoughts:  LVJBS Meet-up-at-the Movies for the upcoming BOB MARLEY movie?  Maybe contacting Regal Theaters or Brenden Theaters of the Palms Casino for a 10-pack of tickets to lottery off & make a ‘Meet-up-at-the Movies’ event for the LVJBS to attend? And/or contacting the mentioned new venues (Composer’s Room, Beverly Theater, Craig Ranch) regarding pricing or sharing some of the door proceeds for future events?
• M.   The Google Spreadsheet will soon be made with a list of upcoming local events where we can ALL jump in the ‘live document’ and add notes of what has been done/what’s still needed so it helps with communicating the tasks.
• N.  Robert Shatzer has been communicating with us via Facebook Messenger in regards to him organizing a large ‘Shakedown Street’ event in a ballroom-size area (possibly the Venetian) for many Deadheads to set up in over the Dead & Co. residency.  Sent him the ‘DreamFactory’ flyer (3500 sq. ft. event space) that Jerome Baker and Jen Krause had advertised.  He has also been invited to our March public meeting (Tuesday, March 5^th, 7 PM—Location - Rocky’s). Our last correspondence was that things were moving in a positive direction for him, but nothing more to report.
• O.  We are working with Jon at Blackspy Marketing to get fliers and other promotional material for Bender Jamboree.
• P.   Phish/Dead & Co. after shows: We spoke of possible Phish live Stream before after shows.

• Item 2: Vice President’s Report & PRODUCTION Report (Greg):

• A.    Tanner of Eminence Ensemble & Josh Eckhaus of The Great Divide (Phish Tribute) made contact to our LVJBS Facebook messenger in regards to a Dead & Co. aftershow(s). Greg plans to put them in touch with the Sand Dollar.
• B.    Dogs In a Pile are a consideration for Friday, April 19 for Phish afterparty. We discussed options for a venue. 24-Oxford is already booked.
• C.    Live Stream Phish during Sphere shows – Angela will make contact Phish regarding options for legally streaming to large groups.
• D.    Shaky Feeling – Did not work out as a Phish afterparty at the Sand Dollar. We are considering a 2-day event sometime in March at Garage-Mahal and will discuss with Matt & Diane.
• E.    Wall of Sound – They have booked a venue on Fremont Street for afterparty after first Phish show at the Sphere. They might need additional help with ticket sales/ advertising.

• Item 3:  Treasurer’s Report (Paige):

• A.    $33.26, from 8-housholds have signed up with Smiths as part of our community outreach using their Smith’s rewards number.  Greg will do more research on what additional businesses give proceeds to non-profits that we could participate in.
• B.     Decided to keep same box instead of the option of paying less. This will help us in having to change out addresses & info for the current box
• C.     22 albums in the Archive were sold for $100 to member Keith K.
• D.    We need to confirm how much we can donate for scholarship money after figuring out if any monies are coming our way from the Tecopa Takeover raffle.

• Item 4: Secretary’s Report (Angela):

• A.    Jessica provided her agenda to Angela to help with meeting notes.

The goal is to establish a mutually beneficial relationship, possibly have an info table, 50/50 raffle, while helping them advertise while supporting a non-profit. We plan remove is to connect with “The Usual Place,” and The Sand Dollar. Many venues book out months in advance, which is a challenge.
