i’ll talk to drew who runs phan phest in kepmton pa. i kno alot of bands that play there got their start at the lantern. maybe he’d like to get involved and help out. he’s a great guy who’s all about the music.
i’ve only lived in the area for a year but when i found out there was a local venue that had all the music i love i was so happy.
you guys showed me the best time recently on my birthday. jeff bujak is an amazing artist, i just wish he had a bigger following out this way.
and thanks to you guys i made a few awesome friends that i kno i will be hanging with forever.

Ratty,
Alpha-Zulu and his new company would be happy to sponsor a night close to Christmas. We can easily draw 40-80 people for an Alpha_zulu live/crashbounce event if it starts around 6:30 pm.

Maybe a Tuesday night

Drop m a line

[...] With the fireplace now in full roar, the Brass Lantern kicks into cold weather mode, which, more importantly, means its peak business (see older blog, “SAVE THE BRASS LANTERN”). [...]

Jordan – interesting idea. Something I’ve always wished we could do….with food/BBq in the lot and music inside. Being a benefit makes it that much more feasible. Let me think about it.

Swiffer – I definitely remember that day….was one of the first shows I really booked and remember letting you in for soundcheck, etc. I’d like to think we’d treat any music lover like that! Thanks for kind words. Never done a PayPal thing, but I think maybe try to come in more often and/or tell all your friends to do the same! We miss all those faces!!!!

Thanks, guys. I will be in touch.

Hey Chris — my first ever BP show was at the Brass, on 5/13/05 — it was a turning point in my life, and I hold the Brass partly responsible for a lot of friendships I have today.

I’ll never forget showing up hours early to the show (even before the Brass’ doors were unlocked) so as not to miss any of BP. The bartenders not only let me in to watch the soundcheck, but they cooked me a free meal and extended warm hospitality throughout the night.

I would like to donate to the Brass. I can’t afford very much right now, but if you were to set up a Paypal donation in the Brass’ name and put it on the this web site, I’ll give what I can.

Hey Chris, lets put on a 2-3 day festival, roy hobbs would play for free , we are willing to try and help save this place. I know it will take more bands than us, but are willing and every other one should be willing too. Lets talk about this. Your good friend, jordan simms
