This is the sweet spot we've got for the event!

It looks dark in this photo, but don't worry that's just cause they had it set up for a stage show. We'll have the lights redirected onto us for the event. We be in the spotlight yo!

If anyone has suggestions for kid friendly shred music, lemme know, cause we'll need to stay away from the gangsta rap for this jam. I've got some Manu Chao lined up, and Ian's into the Beach Boys, but if any of y'all have suggestions or CDs you want to bring along, go for it! (Really though, no swear words :roll: )

So who's comin??? Let's get the list started!

Thanks for the pic, Jake! It looks great!

Ken and I will be there.

Also, as far as music, I vote for Veggie Tales Silly Songs. I have such hits as "The Water Buffalo Song", "Hairbrush Song" and "Dance of the Cucumber." Classics. Old school R&B would be fun, too. Like the Temptations and stuff like that.

But yeah, I have lots of kid friendly music that I'll bring down.

All I listen to is japanese rock and maybe some tech beats. Not sure if anyone is interested in those tunes.

I'll be there.

If I can secure some crash space sat. night I could probably find my way there.

Damn it. I had you in mind when I told Jake about the Beach Boys too...

Maybe this will give us another option:

Hah ha hah! Somehow I can't see you participating in such an endeavor...
I shouldn't be joking about this though... this seriously has to be resolved.
Maybe if Clavens comes we can just listen to his routine music all day...
Dang-it! Seriously though- how are we going to be the best Heavy Metal band without David Clavens?

Alright. No more jokes. We need to come to a conclusion about the music, and we need more David Clavens (and the rest of PA- you know I am talking to, all you magical-well sipping virtuosos up near State College)

YES!


@ Wasabi:

You in or what? How's Bruce and the rest of NYFA feeling about a little road trip?

Jet Blue. All I'm saying. Call in advance.

I won't speak for Dave, but I'll be there. It sounds like fun and it looks like a pretty decent space. Looking forward to it.

Woah, maybe I should start checking modified more often.

So can't we just play a bunch of house music? Like Chemical Brothers or Daft Punk or Shadow, etc. Even something like Battles. Personally, I'd prefer that way way way over children's music or "appropriate" rock/pop.

I'd feel pretty lame shredding to Beach Boys, just saying. Haha, I'll still do it if I'm the minority though. Tripp, you better come and suffer with me if that's how it's going down.

EDIT: I guess weekend parking is free, as is evening parking...forgot about that. Never mind what used to be here.

Also, I went to the Church Brew works last weekend and had some really good food. Yum.

I was messing with Jake about the Beach Boys. I suppose it's karmic that he he thought I was serious and posted about it, or he is messing with me in return. Either way is funny, imo :D

Regarding the parking in your area, I don't think it's an issue because it's the weekend. If people arrive in the daytime and head straight to the Children's Museum, by the time we are done it will be Saturday night and the permits will not be in effect through Monday morning (if I am correct.)

Thought Jake mentioned the music thing to you or I would have brought it up myself. Your input would be helpful. I have a hard time taking the request seriously, but it is important.

I think house/techno might actually be the solution. Röyksopp is an example one band that might would work. Justice too. Hmmm. I have a feeling that I am going to be putting together a mix after all. I originally thought oldies might be safe because I thought the optimum solution did not exist but I think I am starting to think otherwise.

Feedback, please!

I spoke to Bruce and Drew today, and they both told me they're going to be busy that weekend.

As for myself, I'll have to attend my grandmother's wake in the middle of the first week of March, and we'll be burying her on the 12th. So, I don't think I can show up for shred on Pi Day in Pittsburgh.

Sorry Ian.

If we can get some kind of attendee list going then we can secure sleeping arrangements or what not. I know that Danny P. said that if he knew that he had somewhere to stay that he could make it down. Is there anyone else who feels like that; that they need to know that they definitely have a place to stay before they can commit to coming? Let us know if you need a place to stay and if you are definitely coming. All are welcome and all will be accommodated as best as possible.

1. Age and I are definitely attending. We're set for crash space.
2. Music-wise I think stuff like Daft Punk and Justice would be great.
3. Aidan, could you bring my East Coasts routine with you? I'd love to get a copy of it.

Can't wait to see a bunch of you on Saturday! :D

Just in case it needs mentioned again, anyone is welcome to stay at my place. Our apartment has futons, and I live right down the street from Ian.

Nobody's asked to stay yet, so if anybody out there wants to come but is concerned about crash space, hit me up.

Hey,

I just want to clarify that there is plenty of parking by my place and Matt's, since it is a weekend :)

Anyone interested in attending should come, as there is plenty of crash space.

This is going to be a really good time. The Children's Museum is actually a pretty sweet location. There is always killer installation art there and they collaborate internationally with galleries and artists to make a very unique place for kids and adults.

The fact that they invited us to come here is a great opportunity to expose Footbag to a broader audience. And, there will be plenty of fun and shred to be had both during the event and afterwards.

The music issue is sorted and will not be an issue.
