Brownies 23 East

[Raquel]

Dear Splintered family,

I'm sad to say the band has been put on alert and it is time to hit the "panic" button as far as Thursday night shows are concerned. The next few weeks will determine the band's future at Brownies. At this point, It's a simple matter of numbers or paying bodies, if you will. If we continue to have only 58 people in attendance, we will surely lose this gig. (((swallowing lump in throat))).

We have begun a campaign to save this weekly show. We love you guys and having this weekly escape so we will do everything in our power to save this gig, stepped-up advertising and handing out flyers and such but we need all of your help! We need your support now more than ever. If you can come out and support the band on Thursday nights, it would be most appreciated! Even if you can only stay for first set, your support may insure this gig continues for years to come.

If you are able to hand out flyers where you live, work or go to school, please let me know and I will make sure to get some to you. Any help you can provide the band in promoting this weekly show will be most appreciated!

Thanks & <3

Raquel

Please let me know what I can do...hand out flyers, etc...I think WE should have frequent flyer cards...but that I mean you get a card stamped each week when you come and after say 10 shows you get a choice of any show for free....also having a marketing person is helpful...I would love to do it for the band if possible.I got tons of idea and ways of promoting thursday night...just let me know.

love to you all'

Of course I'll give out flyers around my part of the world...and see you this Thursday for sure.

This is like a punch in the stomach.

Raquel - can you send out e-mails to registered users on the board here to get the word out????

[BobbyFansRPeps2]

If you want me to create a flyer and print them out, just let me know!

Be glad to do it!

We all gotta do our part!

[Stacey]

Worst case scenario, can they switch days to a tuesday instead of getting rid of splintered in full? I can do something to help....not sure of attending unless someone can come and watch mason, than I will proudly come every week;) xo

[AnnieWho]

I'll be there.

[Raquel]

Thanks ya'll, for your thoughts, suggestions and support. All of your ideas are great and will all help promote the cause!

Butchy and I posted a flyer on the front page here and we will also bring some on Thursday. You can use ours or are welcome to create one of your own. Any and all help is welcome!

See you Thursday!

Raquel

New bar, new stage, new sound system, better beer, better prices....A close friend of mine works there; apparently they are looking for bands...a weekly Splintered night there could be nice!

Will Definitely put the word out about Brownies....they don't know what they would be missing!

[JonWurst]

seems like a good excuse to me to suit up and show up.

I am working on the ride as we speak. if I get one, I will gladly pay at the door.

cya all soon I hope!

Hey Dave- that link didn't work....byt definitely call them...try to get contact info for Butchy, Mario and Anders....I was also thinking:

Starlight Ballroom Dance Club


Neighborhoods: Callowhill, Spring Garden
460 N 9th Street
Philadelphia, PA 19123

(215) 769-1530

I believe R5 would be the promoters to talk to....they do first unitarian shows...including this sunday Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeroes

This is terrible news. How can they base the entire year on a few weeks attendance ??? They have to go by the averages for the year. Yeah, we will have 58 heads on some Thursdays in July too ! That's not the band's fault. What kind of owner do we have now ? Any business savy whatsoever ? Suggestions from Joe Rufo ? I knew we were in trouble when they canned our man Dan. I Love Splintered Sunlight, Damnit ! ez

[TriggerHippie]

I'll be there, I'll take some flyers to go. Hell, I'll be a trigger hippie and go out on the street, mug people and drag them into Brownie's if I have to!!

[waltzingmatilda]

what about the Palumbaro Club - its only a 1/2 mile away and the owner told me he would love to have splintered's business...???
