Chappy is a sweetheart! He is a loyal friend with a *huge* heart- always full of love & good vibes. Every time I see him, I get a huge hug and a warm round of "hunnnnnnie." I am so glad I have a ~Chappy~ in my life.

Chappy is a LOOSE canon and a super fun dude. Other than his many vices he seems to have a genuine zest for life that is not common in most people that are addicted to crap TV. If he were a superhero I think he would be Gleek (the Wondertwins Monkey). FUN FUN!

In this life all we truly have are our loved ones.... If any of you, and I mean any of you are having a hard time. Please reach out to someone.
My door is always open at any hour for any of you. If you'd rather talk to someone other than myself please please reach out. We lost a brother not to long ago, and we do not need to lose anyone else so damn quickly. I could write all night long about this, so I'll keep it short and to the point.

We have a great community here and a tight f... read more

As a quasi trained chef, I love this show. This third season is not gonna disappoint. Chef Ramsey called the girls team Hells Bitches.
Not to degrade women or anything, just quoting the show. The girls team, "the red team" was fucking so high school---

Anyhow--

a must watch--

Now Discuss-

LOTUS - 04.19 | San Francisco, CA | Great American Music Hall w/ Gram Rabbit (events » live music) Saturday, April 19, 2008 - 8:00 PM Heya All---

i am posting this for a buddy who is extra tight with the band Lotus. I give them my personal guarantee that they are plenty worthy of
checking out. Really a nice group of guys and they put on a hot show. Chappy will be there for sure.

Greetings Greetings Everyone!


Spring Tour
The Spring Copy Paste Repeat Tour kicked off in a huge way this past weekend with an amazing night at the beautiful State Theatre in State College, PA followed by an awesome show in Northampton, MA at Pearl Street and an absolutely packed house at The Higher Ground in Burlington which turned into an insane dance party all night long. Read on for details on how you can check the music from these shows out...

The true stretch of the tour starts this weekend however...kicking off this Thursday at the always raging River Street Jazz Cafe in Plains, PA (just outside Wilkes-Barre for those not in the know). Doors open at 8pm with the music getting started at 9:30pm. On Friday night April 4th we return to the Albany region, headlining the much bigger and very nice Revolution Hall in Troy, NY with doors opening at 8pm and the show getting started at 9pm. Not to take away from either of those but Saturday night is the main event - the legendary Fillmore NY @ Irving Plaza in the heart of New York City!!! You can pick up tickets now for the NYC show on 4/5 at
www.ticketmaster.com/event/0...87214163
For this one doors open at 8pm as well and music begins at 9pm.

After the blowout in NYC we start our way Westward with two mid-western stops the beginning of next week. On Tuesday 4/8 we return to Missouri after the opening slot for STS9 this past Feb. as we headline a night at The Blue Note in Columbia, MO. Doors open at 8pm, Music at 9pm. On Wednesday evening our trip West continues as we take it back to The Bottleneck in Lawrence, KS on April 9th where, once again the doors will open at 8pm and the show kicks off at 9pm.

From there its four nights in Colorado, followed by the final week in the West playing Boise for the first time, then down the coast hitting Seattle, Portland, Eureka, and a return to the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco. We round it all out with a 4/20 show out in Tahoe.

Tickets for many of these shows are still available via Lotus' Ticketing:
www.lotusvibes.musictoday.com

Opening the shows will be four great acts depending on the leg of the tour.
The Dutch turntable/band hybrid C-Mon & Kypski open the three shows this week.
The dynamic five-some The Frequency augment the NYC show even further.
In the Midwest (April 8-9) Chicago's own Future Rock open things up.
The rest of the tour we are joined by the desert electro-stylings of Gram Rabbit.

Festival Addition + News
There is one thing missing from all of these festivals we have thus far announced...that is a LOTUS headline slot!!! We are very pleased to correct that with the addition of Summerdance @ Nelson Ledges Quarry Park - the absolutely breathtaking festival site not far from Cleveland, OH which we had the pleasure of taking in for the first time last summer. This year, instead of one hour in the afternoon rain on the beach we'll be giving ya two sets with "more sound, lights and lasers than ever before" :) On top of all that, festival passes are a mere $35.00 and camping is set in the woods with each car getting their own parking spot and camping area (ala State Parks), a beautiful quarry for you to swim in, and sand under your feet to dance in :)

Also, just a friendly reminder that prices for 4-Day passes purchased online for the Wakarusa Music Festival in Lawrence, KS increase to the next level Friday, April 4th. Visit www.wakarusa.com to purchase tickets and don't miss out on this opportunity to save some cash!

Street Team
We are looking for a few people to help us with some flyering, postering, and whatnot in the following areas:
Boise, ID
Seattle, WA
Tahoe region, NV/CA
Please send a msg to brendan@opusoneproductions.com with your name, mailing address and any other info you think relevant and we'll get ya hooked up. Thanks!
