Title: Ladies and Gents, I am pleased to announce...
Post by Carl_D on Sep 19th, 2003, 3:26am
O.U.C.H.Fest '03

Sunday December 7th, 2003 at
City Limits - 2206 Fosterburg Rd, Alton IL

The bands will start at 5pm, and there will be raffles throughout the night.
Five bands for Five bucks.
I really wanted to do it on a Saturday, but Greg said he is booked through eternity on Friday and Saturday gigs; so we decided to have it on a Sunday. I hope that this benefit concert will be a success and if so, then I will start planning O.U.C.H.Fest '04.
This week I will be soliciting for items to be donated for the raffle giveaways, and trying to tie up other loose ends, maybe even find a couple of sponsers that I can run by the BoD and get thier take on it. If anybody has any ideas, big or small, feel free to email me.
ARTISTS!!!! We need someone to create a banner for the stage behind the bands that will have the O.U.C.H. logo on it. Anyone who would like to donate thier time and effort on this project would be greatly appreciated.

I have the 2 nearest hotels and info below. Everybody will be responsible for thier own accomodations, so plan ahead. We are making flyers this week and plastering them all over, and I will work on local advertising too. Doc suggested we try TV news media close to the date of the event, and I am contacting a buddy of mine to see what we have to do to get a :30 second radio ad. I'm crossing my fingers, but I think we can pull this off. Anyway, as I get new info, I will post it here.

Peace,
Carl D

Some of the artwork by Zaira or pimmony would look awesome as a backdrop. With cheap muslin and a scene painter from the local theatre, or a strip by strip digital reproduction, you’d be havin somptin.

I will ask the wineries to donate wine for this benefit. I will ask them for Magnums (double bottle). A big bottle looks impressive. If they don't, I will drop their wines from my list.

I really have nothing else to offer, I have no artistic talent, and no money, so I hope that this will work for you.

OUCH endorsed activities MUST be family orientated and therefor can not edorse the raffling off or giving away of alcoholic beverages.

A non-alcoholic wine substitute would be fine though.

A mosh pit with 20 people getting hit would be an interesting site now wouldn't it?

Wine is considered to be "NOT Family orientated"?
Who made that stupid rule, and why would OUCH endorse such a rule? Nothing illegal or immoral about having a nice glass of wine, is there?

Wine triggers CHs.  It's probably just a precaution.

If anyone chooses to partake in drinking, they can get thier drinks at the bar. The bands and event coordinators will not be providing alcohol. The choice is up to the individual.
As far as items for the raffle, I am gonna try and get stuff that people WANT to win. Anyone think it is possible to get GlaxSmithKline to donate like a month of Imitrex injections as a starter prize? Just thinking outloud.
Our goal for this event is two-fold; to raise money for OUCH and to raise awareness of Cluster Headaches. I will not lie - when our band hits the stage close to the end of the night, we might scare off some of the older folks (hence why we are going on 2nd to last), and PowerTrip will definitely scare the rest of the people there. It is for a good cause - unless of course someone thinks we don't have a reason to make some noise. I have 16 years of reasons.
One thing though: this is taking place in a nightclub, so the audience will be 21 and over. We are making the flyers this week, and hopefully getting some OUCH brochures in the mail that we can use to promote the event. One item I want to obtain as a prize is a DVD player, and for 2 bucks a ticket, I'm sure some people would be interested in that for a raffle.
I am going to contact a couple of local music stores in the area to see if they would like to help sponsor the event, but before anything is etched in stone, it will be ran by the OUCH BoD's first.
Some people may frown on the event taking place in a nightclub. As Don Corleone would say, "Don't ask questions, just take the money!"

Peace,
Carl D

Not to my two teenage step daughters it's not. Far as I know they are still in the family. Where the hell are they anyway ?

Hey Carl, Can we get Will Nelson and Niel Young?
Tell them we are poor sharecroppers!

If anyone is unsure as to where OUCHFest is being held, it is in the middle of the U.S. in Illinois right across the river from St Louis, Missouri. If anyone has any questions, feel free to message me or email me. I am busy off and on today recording, and have to go bye bye now and do bad things.
