randissimo Posted December 2, 2003 Report Posted December 2, 2003 (edited) At the suggestion of one of our members, I will be posting all of our upcoming calendar events for all to easily see... Dec 11th, 9:00pm to 12:00am we're at New Holland Brew Pub, Holland, Mi. This is a fairly new room for us and a challenging one. The acoustics aren't the most favorable and the venue doesn't make any effort to advertise the music. In spite of that, we do get a few listeners once in awhile and the beer and the food's fairly good. We may just try our Zappa tunes out there.. B) Dec 18th, 9:00pm to 1:00am, we'll be celebrating the 2nd annual Organissimo Christmas Party at Billy's Lounge, Grand Rapids, Mi. (for details go to home site- calendar events).. We will be featuring tenor sax man John Gist and this event will be combined with WGVU's Jazz Nite. The 9:00pm set will be broadcasted live @ 88.5 in West Michigan.. Every Tuesday in January, we'll be jammin' at Founders Brew Pub, Grand Rapids, Mi. from 9:00pm to 1:00am. They have great beers there and we have a loyal following, and I'm sure we'll be seeing the Boogaloo Sisters occasionally in the house! If we do well in January, they will extend us into February and beyond.. Feb 6th, we will be at the Firefly in Ann Arbor, Mi. 9:00 - 1:00am.. We'll be making our big debut there.. It's a great place to play and it's a real jazz club! Edited December 3, 2003 by randissimo Quote

I don't know where the Firefly is exactly. Quote
blue lake Posted December 3, 2003 Report Posted December 3, 2003 I think WGVU streams on the web www.wgvu.org maybe the site: y'all can listen to that live broadcast (maybe?) Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted December 3, 2003 Report Posted December 3, 2003 I'll be updating the schedule page on the main website soon, I swear. Quote
Jim Dye Posted December 3, 2003 Report Posted December 3, 2003 I hope you guys get a gig the weekend after Christmas. I'll be in Lansing and would love to finally catch a set or two. Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted December 3, 2003 Report Posted December 3, 2003 The only gigs I have the weekend after Christmas are at the Green Door Lounge with my R&B band. No trio gigs to speak of. Quote
ghost of miles Posted December 3, 2003 Report Posted December 3, 2003 (edited) Still hope to catch you in Saugatuck or Holland sometime (my mom went to Hope College). Can't make it next week, but thanks for posting the dates... I definitely foresee an Organissimo gig in my future. Edited December 3, 2003 by ghost of miles Quote
Jim Dye Posted December 3, 2003 Report Posted December 3, 2003 Well I'm meeting a bunch of friends at Dags on Saturday night. It's just up the street a bit so I'll try and stop by and say hello. Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted December 3, 2003 Report Posted December 3, 2003 We're playing in Holland on December 11th. I will update the schedule page soon, really... Quote
Joe G Posted December 3, 2003 Report Posted December 3, 2003 I didn't even know about the 11th. Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted December 3, 2003 Report Posted December 3, 2003 That one has been discussed in Randy's thread. Quote
Brad Posted December 3, 2003 Report Posted December 3, 2003 Do you have any plans to come east, like to New York? Quote

If we have enough time, I could take you to either Ann Arbor for cds or Detroit for books. Let me know, Paul Quote

We're hardly going to have time to visit our families this year as it is. Hopefully, we'll be moving closer to home in 2004 when my job ends. Maybe next summer we can hook up and finally do some book and record shopping. Quote
