Thanks, jonna.

Ernie did say we wouldn't be bugging them I've been meaning to send "hellos" to everyone on facebook, but work blocked it again

Okay, thats good to know!

I was thinking we needed to get on SxSW quickly, but we wait till October. I guess getting there takes a lot of planning. Hotels book up quick.

I am in a band located outside of the USA. What do I need to know about showcasing? Hide

SXSW showcased over 400 international acts last year, so please apply. Our deadline for international artists to complete applications is October 24, 2008. You can apply via Sonicbids or the SXSW e-commerce system. If you apply through the SXSW website, your music and materials must be uploaded by the October 24th deadline date. We are aware of stringent visa and travel requirements, so we prioritize processing of international band applications.




Second question answered

I've applied for a Music Festival showcase. How do I reserve hotel rooms for my act in case we're selected? Hide

Because over 10,000 artists apply for showcases, the SXSW Housing Desk cannot book hotel rooms for artists until they have been offered a showcase. DO NOT PANIC! The Housing Desk blocks enough hotel rooms to accommodate all showcasing artists who need them. There will be hotel rooms available for you and your bandmates when SXSW extends showcase invitations. Your acceptance email will contain details on how to book hotels.

If you purchase a conference registration, you can reserve a hotel room immediately; however, that registration fee is NONREFUNDABLE. No exceptions. If you want to purchase a registration, please wait until you have been notified of your showcase status. Artists who are not given a showcase will have the opportunity to purchase a SXSW Music registration at the lowest price for the season

Well, nothing for me to do here.

Okay, I got Finnish Rock Radio willing to play them, pending Eppu's permission.

SxSW has it all set up, it actually looks like a great place for them to start

Finally got Ernie to sign up at DC101 too Now, I just have to start requesting. Back Home is so catchy, it's bound to do well...no?

Good job T!! I'm sure he will, he gave permission to Eurorock when we got back last year. I never thought about FRR.

I have now a packet to send to you! I'll send it to Angela next week.

Thanks Jonna

I've discovered that there is a LEGAL Moonshine distillery here in VA, about 45 minutes away from me It's made the old way, and has 50% alcohol I want to send some to the Finns, you can't get more American than Moonshine
Do any of you know what the rules and regulations on sending booze are?

I thought the whole thing about Moonshine was that it was meant to be illegal?

I thought so too! I had some strawberry moonshine 2 years ago and was told not to eat the strawberries....so I ate the strawberries and completely blacked out! That is pure pain, my friends. Anyone else drank it before?

Eppu did okay FRR playing Edward. But I haven't listened to see if she is playing it.

I really need to get on these stations It's bad karma not to

After watching a show about Moonshine on the history channel I discovered a lot! Illegal moonshine is what the government can't tax and what is not regulated. Since it's a corn whiskey it's easy to make in the backwoods and can have some nasty stuff in it. This company sells "Virginia Lightning" which is regulated and taxed by the federal government It's still real cheap, like 15 for a pint or something stupid
The home made stuff can have over 50% alcohol which can make it dangerous, and can have high levels of lead which can cause death, it also contains a metasomthing alcohol is what makes some people to go blind
I've never tried it legally, but it's foul stuff when it's homemade or the type I tried was, I'm eager to try the good stuff. The guy on the show says a little goes a long way 100 proof baby!
We used to drink something like that in MO called Everclear, it was legal, you guys ever drink that? I think I'll move this post out of the Street Teaming thread, unless anyone wants to buy some VA Lightning and hand it out as a street team technique... let people get drunk and listen to the demo

I guess that is why there were strawberries in the moonshine I had. To mask the nasty taste. I really was good! In San Antonio they have a Mexican restaurant called Baby A's and they serve Everclear margaritas. You're not allowed more then 2...and I'm hear to tell ya thats more then enough. I've also had cherry bombs made with Everclear. Its like breathing fire!

Anyone happened to do any street teaming lately? I've been telling everyone I know about them, but still haven't burnt and CDs, guess I should get on that...I have a "back home" BOB gave us last year...

There are boys who have been holding out on us...

Not sure what they are saying, but evidently, Mikkis talks like a chipmunk when we aren't around... AND Kalle "Make" knows how to fix cars these boys are full of all kinds of surprises

best underwear EVER!!!!

so nice to see the boys again


btw- "make" means sweet! aaawwwww

I do love the undies!!

Anyone keep rewinding the "Oh Hello"? or am I just a crazy person?

Ernie told me "Make" is like a hillbilly name, did he fib to save Kalle's manly honor? I doubt it, he did tell us about giving Kalle teddy bears, b/c he's their teddy bear

Ol' Mr. Sunshine himself
