We are going to meet up at the Sports Center/Pharmasave at 7:00 and all go in as a group. The responsibility of getting the tickets is for the person going. For all those who are attending and so that anyone that joins late or is a newbie we have decided instead of having balloons that the members wear glow bracelets or necklaces so we all can be easily identifiable (Just in case we get lost LOL). This way if anyone comes late or is a new person they can find the group easily. GLOW bracelets or necklaces can be purchases at any dollar store. If you have any questions I will be happy to answer them.
FLATLINE most POF members have seen and heard already which their talents are wonderful and are an excellent band to see. Here is a little bit of info on the other band:
THE USUAL SUSPECTS are made up of five highly experienced players. Extensive touring backgrounds and differing musical styles - from Punk to Jazz. With five players that are adept at vocals, the bands harmonies are finely layered. The varied styles of music is also a different approach for a cover band. The Usual Suspects tries to stay away from the typical top 40 cover band song lists. The material is all well known but differs from what has typically been played by cover bands. The band covers a lot of material from the 1980's, as well as some more current top 40 material. Made up of Lead Vocals, Guitar, Drums, Bass and Keyboards, this line up allows the band much flexibility in selecting material. A mere small sampling of the music selection includes Van Halen, Billy Idol, Huey Lewis The News, Phil Collins, Inxs, David Bowie, The Fixx, The Romantics, and Thomas Dolby. Some have said that the band sounds like the original acts that they cover but more similar to what one would expect from the covered bands "Live". Subtle changes/paraphrasing gives the band this unique quality.
Lets get of the computers and have fun and make new friends. To all newbies coming to the event find the POF people with glow bands and will be happy to make you feel comfortable and welcome.

Posted: 5/6/2008 10:40:56 AM | Well sunbeam, we'll have to wait and see about this one, still waiting on second career options. Not sure if I could afford a suit of any kind right now, but I do have other clothes I can wear....listens for the sighs of relief. 
What we chatted briefly about at the last dance still holds true so I may come to meet up with others, not saying I will get my a$$ on the dance floor, I know it is a "dance" but I do resemble a frog in a blender or Steve Martin in "The Jerk" when my feet touch dance floors....."The phone books are here....the phone books are here! ! !"

Posted: 5/18/2008 7:57:51 AM | Hmmmmm, two lovely ladies buying ME drinks.....what's a boy to do.
If you find a banana suit.....see if you can't find two "ice cream suits" .....we could become a banana slit 
I WILL have to find a way to make it there now, the only thing is after all that crown I may need someone to look after me hopefully that is part of the "mission" too.
I have some time yet to sign up, are tickets available at the door for this as well? | |

Posted: 5/23/2008 6:29:52 PM | Hey all,
Look forward to seeing everyone there!
I'm the singer for The Usual Suspects. I'm sure many of you that were there last year saw us. This is our second year hosting this event just as it is for Flatline and we have been told that this could be the case for the next few years based on the events great success.
Many of you may have also seen us at many other venues around town...Soprano's, The Central Bar & Grill (sadly closed), Bleue Coyote, The Oak Bay Tea Party, The V Lounge etc...
If you would like more info on The Usual Suspects, please feel free to visit our website. We are and have been a staple on the Victoria Music scene for the last 4 or 5 years.
This year should be a lot of fun and I know a lot of people in Esquimalt (my home town) that are going to be attending. So bring your party hats and lets have some fun!
