Philly / South Jersey Roundup Fall 08

Jun 17, 2008 10:04 p.m. crowbone:

While I'm still all abuzz from Nashville and our previous Landfill Roundup, plans(in my head anyway) are in the works for a Roundup October 11th or 12th, 2008 at a studio in South Jersey.

I know there are at least 3 of you besides me attending, but I think we can get some of the other guys who missed the first one out this time.

Possibly even some folks from outside the South Jersey / Philly area?

Right now, I'm looking for definites, hopefuls and maybes, so I can get with the studio owner and give him an approximation of how many people will be there.

I know we have a huge talent bank in this area, so come on out, It'll be a blast.

As long as gas stays below $10.00/gallon, I'll be there.

October will work 'cause the summer's crazy busy.

Anyone going to be in Lavallette this summer look me up but I'll make you help rebuild the deck.

Great view:

I'm looking to book October 12th as the day.

Any there "for sure"s let me know if you can in advance as I need to book the right size room, and if I need to get another drummer.

Wally(From the Detonators among other bands) has expressed interest.

Maybe start working on a set list?

New additions perhaps?

Hey, 57Chet,

I'm in Baltimore and I pilot a Honda Element (plenty of room for stuff), if you want to car-pool. Major caveat: I arrive early and stay late!

Hey, John,

A good place, is it? Looking forward to it! A vote for Cinnamon Girl, here, too.

And Chris,

Good choices!

Cinnamon Girl is a good start!

Great view Curt!

Cinnamon Girl works and as long as we're in drop D we might as well do The Loner and Ohio.

57 Chet said: Great view
Thanks, it's a very cool family beach. If a few of you want to we can arrange to play on the beach next summer.

How about Peaches by the Presidents of the United States of America??? Anyone know that number? That one's in drop D, but if you don't like that song, how about "Bad Boy" by the Beatles. "A bad little kid moved in to my neighborhood"???

Hey, Chris,

While we're dropping our D's, is anyone up for Buffalo Springfield's "Bluebird"?

Curt did you see, or were you in that horror movie they shot entirely in Lavallette?

Chris -

Get Back, not Baby Got Back, right? - we'll need Billy Preston, or at least some keys.

I'm going to throw out a couple:

Crazy Crazy Lovin' - Billy Zoom

C'mon Everybody - Eddie Cochran
