Hey everyone -
 
My band Stonetrout  (think Grateful Dead meets Bonnie Raitt) will be playing at the Saturday night party - April 2nd - on the last night of the annual NORML National Conference.  NORML is the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws.  The conference is at the Cathedral Hill Hotel in San Francisco on Van Ness at Geary, across from Tommy's Joynt.  Info can be found at the NORML web site: www.norml.org.
 
The Saturday night party is a benefit ($50 for 2 drinks, food and 2 bands).  It will be in the Grand Ballroom of the hotel (not really that grand, just a big hotel hall room) and will feature us and the Danny Brant Band (great blues rock) a top notch P.A. and even a light show!  The 60's lives!  Come on down and check it out if you are in the area.  Big Fun!
 
Bill, tgo

So how many people are they expecting?

Probably around 300-500.  (But there's room for more).
 
Bill,tgo

Sounds like fun.  Hopefully the crowd won't be too straight-laced!

Dave:
 
I don't think that will be a problem. (LOL)
 
Bill, tgo

So I guess the crowd'll be all fired up and the band'll be smokin'?
Rich

They'll be rolling in the aisles!
 
Bill, tgo

If the media are there they might even put something in the papers.

Rich:
 
If you make it there, be sure to come over and say high.
 
Bill, tgo

Will do, B tgo,
Sounds like there will be a big crowd.  Hope the singer has a good set of pipes.
Rich

I hope they're supplying munchies, too.
 
So you have any band memebers that play the water pipe?
 
Brad

Food & drinks supplied.  No one in the band plays water pipe onstage, but the drummer can make a big bong sound!
 
Bill, tgo

For dinner are they serving corned beef hash, or pot roast maybe?
Do you guys play any Doobie Brothers songs?
Rich

Hah!!  I didn't think of that; songs appropriate to the occasion.  Is Don't Bogart Me on the set list?!!

If you forget to bring matches you can just ask your neighbor for a Bud Light.
