I'm not sure.

This indecision could go one way or another .... wait a minute, that's a Pretender's song on the Jam list

Okay everyone, I think we're in focus now!

The event has been moved to Malone's. The time will be 12:00 PM to 7:30 PM
604 E. Dyer Road Santa Ana, CA 92705.

Malone's has been overhauled since we were there in 2007. It has two real stages, one will a PA, the other is a do it yourself stage. The place looks better than it used to (on the inside).

The cost will be split evenly though the amount of attendees. It won't cost much more per person than if we had it at Bombshelter.
For instance, if we have 30 people, it comes to $8 per attendee. If we have 40 people, it will be $6 per person. You pay only once if you bring a significant other or child. I have cleared well behaved minors being there. The rules for minors are; they are not to sit at the bar and they are not to go into the pool room and stay away do not handle the instruments if they are not musicians. If you bring an interested friend, we ask that they a give small contribution to the cost.
We will be much more comfortable with this many people at Malone's with room for our instruments.

Much better venue, IMHO...

Unfortunately we have lost representation (Kathy) from Ohio, due to her daughter getting sick. Too bad, Kathy is super nice and very easy on the eyes.
Okay Jeffo get your skinny *** out here and bring your better half (Shari) with!!

Since they are predicting more earthquakes to come in So Cal, what should we name this one. Whole Lotta Shakin' Rickenbacker Jam?

I don't know where my previous post went, but I'm pretty sure I'll show up. Ben is considering it too, I know. Malones is much more convenient for us too.

John, glad you and Ben will join us!

Thanks Collin, but I honestly can't take all the credit. Malone's wasn't answering their phone and I misplaced the card of the girl who books the bands and events there. Diane went down there in person and got the ball rolling.

If this event goes over well, having our group and people at Malone's happy, the next event will be even better for several reasons.

Malone's - isn't that where we went for the jam night during the 75th SoCal?
