Lake Effect Calender

I've booked Halloween, a Friday this year, at everybody's favorite bar, Silvies. Now before you detractors start hollering, let me share my rationale behind using Silvies:

1. We can have any date we want
2. It costs us a total of $70 off the door, wheareas Martyrs, for instance, is $400 +
3. Its actually a pretty nice room

Yes the drinks are expensive and a bit weak, but stick to shots and beer and you're gold.
I just think of the extra $10 I spend there over other bars as a premium for having our own private club for the night.

For Halloween, I suggest one of the following:

1. Lads

2. A show similar in format to the Uke Cab, but with full backline, where each act plays three songs in character and costume as another band, famous or invented. Its not a new idea, they've been doing it at Double Door/Subterranean for years. Just think of the potential from our comunity though! In case a full scale lads reunion isn't in the offing, an abbreviated 3-song set as part of this concept would be great, and manageable.

3. Halloween Karaoke- We have a house band and get people to sign up in advance to perform a song as famous singers and bands. The house band learens all the songs and off we go.

Personally, I think #2 is the way to go, unless by some miracle, we can find Ron Woods-Taylor and Dale Manion and convince them to come out of hiding.

Chime in Lake Effectors!
