It will be 10 years since the EP this place is named for was released as well as the EP that introduced a large number of fans to Eisley I think, for those capable, an effort should be made to gather and celebrate one, if not both of those occasions, at the place that started it all ( and hopefully an Eisley show ) For those of us who have corresponded with Mr. Dupree but never had the pleasure of meeting him and thanking him and the band for facilitating our interactions here, with the band, and each other, over the years, this would be a chance. A kickstarter to bankroll booking the venue and Entertainment could be organized and maybe we (more likely Eisley & Managment) can arrange to garner (Fan Shot) video & audio rights of this special event for distribution as rewards for backers??? I'm just throwing the idea out there. I think it would be a really nice thing to do if it can be pulled off properly, and I do really think it can be. I know for some schedules and costs can be prohibitive for such a trip, but setting up a Ustream and documenting the occasion and making it available would provide alternative opportunities to be involved. And remember, I am 100% speculating, having not contacted anyone with the authority to approve any of this. Just taking some initiative based on a random thought spurred by the idea that I, and others, may never get to meet a few key members of Team Eisley I've come to appreciate because I was late in the game attending shows, and others may not get to see them again after years have passed since last they met.

I put one down on the Definitely Not front from purely a logistical standpoint. Because Texas. Although I should have voted "unlikely." I would go if I could. _________________ Taylor | @thbrogan http://inconnumag.com |

I'm down as "only in certain circumstances." Those circumstances being that I have the money to get down there, a place to stay, and assuming I have nothing school-related going on if/when this would happen. I'm fairly certain it's no longer of a drive than I would make to my parents' house, but I wouldn't want to drive there, hang out, then drive back in the dead of night. That's entirely why I've never made it out to a Brewtones show, despite being more than capable when they happen in most cases. _________________ Do I even need a signature anymore? |

They're pretty strict about only hosting fundraising for specific types of creative ventures. I tried to start a Kickstarter to raise scholarship money for a girls' rock camp and they turned it down because it didn't fit their criteria. I do, however, think this is an awesome idea, and far enough in the future that I could probably commit to going (with my husband, I hope, who I likely never would have met were it not for Eisley). May would be my preference for the sake of not potentially traveling in inclement weather. For those who want a place to stay and don't have a family to lug around, join Couchsurfing.org. I have met some incredible people through that site and had great experiences. _________________ INTELLECT AND ROMANCE OVER BRUTE FORCE AND CYNICISM Smokemonster |

Oh, the idea in my head was that Eisley would do set up a kickstarter for a anniversary album/ documentary project. Attendees would contribute to the staging of the event aka buy a ticket. In a perfect world a fan or two would film the show and a static camera could be set up for ustream, along with a direct out of the mix from the board. That mix would be the source for the album dl which people can pledge towards as well. The documentary, and i use the term loosely, could be comprised of the fan footage of the show along with possibly interviews and behind the scenes footage that some kind soul could edit in imovie, nothing fancy. For those without the means DIY dvds could be burned and shipped out. Perhaps some craft fans could craft sleeves with cardstock and old school ink stamp of the e logo? So for kickstarter, or pledgemusic, eisley would be funding this release, as opposed tothe show. Any attendees would be the studio audience so to speak. At least that's my idea. Their deal with equal vision could easily put a stop to any such plans. I was just thinking of a way to make it worth eisley's time to put on such a show. _________________ yup, that's my name.

Since we're still speaking speculatively here, if something like this arises, I could potentially see if our film group would be interested in doing some semi-professional filming. Again, just speaking speculatively. _________________ Do I even need a signature anymore? |

That would be speculatively awesome! You know what would also be speculatively awesome? Both eps played in their entirety that would be perfect, and leaves enough set time for a best-of everything else. _________________ yup, that's my name.

I would love to but living so far away I may not be able to, I would try to make the effort to go if the circumstances were right. _________________ Foolish boy.

I know they at least WORKED on Silver Bugs when they were in the studio for Room Noises. I dunno if it ever got recorded... But, even if it did, wouldn't it be owned by WB? _________________ |
