Rich Loomer: But separating.
Casey Smith: Like…
Justin Cole: Yeah, sorry, I just, like…
CS: You would have to guarantee your spot, in other words.
Cameron Tanguay: I think that, like…
JC: Who knows? What would, uh…
CT: …wouldn’t work. I think if we do the “you have to sign up..to go”, and you get--you get a wristband, and then, like, we could try to work out a number that--that…says..okay, these are the amount of people who--who are gonna go to the show, and this is the…
Reuben Walton: (glitchy vocal sample)
CT: Yeah, between people who are allowed to go in and get food and then…
CS: Yeah.
CT: …you know…
CS: Yeah. I mean, it has some holes in it, but…
CT: Yeah, it does have some holes in it.
JC: I’m used to, like, I should remove…
CT: Try.
LeAnne Piepiora: I feel like people would be like “Oh, I’m just going to get food,” and then they’ll never come out.
CS: Yeah, yeah.
JC: Yeah, like, I didn’t think we, I…I guess what I was asking was, like…
CS: I fuckin’ hate that Taco Bell™ and everything in there, they--it ruins everything for us.
LP: I hate that we’re not on the third floor!
JC: Hey--
CS: Yeah, it’s too fits.
LP: That ruins everything, but, let’s not talk about the bad things. (laughs)
RW: (laughs)
JC: It’s stolen the Taco Bell™ that went from Aramark™, it’s Aramark™. I know this is weird, because of sh--dogged, but can we request that night?
CS: No.
LP: Pure tan.
CT: Like, I mean, that would be nice, but I guarantee that we w--we can’t.
JC: Alright.
CT: You know?
JC: I was gonna say, like, they third that list--
CT: Unless we paid, like, the franchise of Taco Bell, like…
RL: Yeah.
CT: ...twenty grand, like…
RL: Like, it’d be really nice if we could be able to say, like “The Common is closed for a private event”, but…
JC: Well--
RL: Definitely.
JC: I-I didn’t know, like, if we could do that, because it is, like, part of the university…
RL: I-I-I didn’t…
CS: We should look into the Concert Hall, though, we should look into that, um…
JC: We definitely could do the sign up thing March 20th…
CS: And we could charge for that, too, we could charge for the Concert Hall, I think…
JC: Or we do--
RL: With the Concert Hall, you can’t have people dancing.
Brian McGravey: Recital Hall could, like…
JC: You can stand…
RL: Nobody would stand.
JC: …for Good Old War?
RL: Then it would just, like--
BM: ...because we could have standing people…
LP: That’s what I was saying about Recital--the Recital Hall.
JC: The Recital Hall, uh, would sound much better..with a triage, like (indistinct)
LP: Hold on, what was the problem with the Recital Hall, again?
RL: I was just bust down, like...
CS: It sounds poopy.
JC: For an acoustic band, it might…
LP: Yeah.
RL: Uh, you know what? For them it might work, ‘cause they are..what they are…
CS: That’s true, uh, we could, just...
CT: I’ll to them about it--
LP: And we could charge, and it would be a good venue for--it’d be a-a good size.
CS: And we might be able to get Recital Attendance maybe? (higher pitched).
CT: That’s what said...
Dan Farrell: (high-pitched) Yeah!
JC: Well, we could move through it soon because that--that’s when all the interesting recitals happen...
JT: I don’t know, but we mighta--we gotta move on.
LP: Alright, I--just so you know, I gotta leave in five minutes.
CT: It’s a good idea, but, uh, we gotta move on, and the re--the reality of it is..I have to, like…
BM: To Sisco…
RW: Um, yeah, tonight. Yeah.
CT: …talk to the..agent, and, like, pretty much, like… (indistinct)
CS: Yeah.
CT: “No, we’re not doing a private show,” “Alright, fuck (indistinct)”. You know, that happen.
CS: I-I think the…I think the, uh, the two thousand one thousand..thing is our best bet at this point, and then...
CT: South Common?
CS: Yeah, well--two thousand for Cumnock, one thousand--I mean, opposite. One thousand for Cumnock, two thousand for Fox Common.
CT: And one thousand dollars?
CS: For..Cumnock.
CT: We paid them two thousand dollars a month ago.
CS: I know, but we have..evidence that they didn’t even make--
CT: Yeah, but that’s--we don’t have, like--
CS: But, uh--give ‘em, that’s--that’s their option.
CT: Yeah.
CS: Two thousand, one thousand, take it or leave it.
CT: Alright.
CS: We don’t have any--we don’t have enough money to pay three thousand dollars--
LP: (indistinct) I think I’ll remember…
CT: Yeah, I’ll--I’ll look into it. Hell yeah. I’ll definitely do it.
JC: Probably gotta be a larger amount.
CT: Alright.
CS: We do have time for this, remember, so…
JC: We can book a show…
CS: Yeah, y-you can talk to their agent, he’ll talk to ya. You know, we’ll give ‘em--tell ‘em what’s up, tell ‘em our options and w-where we’re at.
CT: Alright. Okay, um, now, last thing: assigning dates for booking of shows, alright? Um, so, we have--well, Casey has February 16th, I have February 23rd, Justin has March 2nd, uh, March..1st is cancelled, um, because of Mothers of Rock.
JC: You’re talking about March 2nd, right?
CT: March 2nd, um.
JC: March, we’ll do a Friday show before March 2nd, um…Atlas the Atom Smasher, um hurry up and roll is doing their CD release show. Um...
Far-Off Girl: (cheerfully) Hey...
RW: (sample) What up, Bri?
(door slams)
JC: I--it’s like, Big Mess is gonna be playing, it’s gonna be a lot of kinda local--Bella Birds, and, once again, did not speak for you.
CT: Mmhmm.
JC: Um, I’ll do it myself. We need to do--if we can get some people that want to come out…
LP: You have third…
JC: on Friday Night…
Dan Sullivan: We’ll be able to get, have it mouth…
RL: Oh, sure, we’ll have our rights to do the March 2nd, yeah. We’ll be able to get…
JC: Um…
RL: ...yeah, have to read not--
JC: So, and--and anyone else who wants to experience extra set up.
LP: Oh, I gotta get out of here…
JC: …since we’re on equal show that report that, there’s gonna be more information on that very soon, but...
LP: …I have half a minute left on one thing. Bye.
JC: That’s gonna be--that’s one thing..I have..started doing, is trying to do..we have the option of doing Friday night shows, as long as there’s not a Fresh Fridays…
RW: (sampled laughing, continuing vaguely in background glitchily)
RL: (laughing slightly) Ch’yeah, right?
(low gulping sound, door slams)
CT: Okay! Justin, we have to move--I’m sorry, but we have to go, it’s taking--We can talk about it later gift it, just it...
RL: Justin, one of us will be there, we’ll make sure it happens.
JC: Yeah.
CT: Okay, so, um…
JC: Off it…(indistinct)
CT: …a couple of the members that were--that were kind of--that were, well, that were really kickin’ ass last semester and..always showin’ up, and did really well with their..um, uh, simulation..thing, and..got high praise of their--from their mentors and such, uh, got some of these shows, um, I gave March 22nd, and he’s not here, to Tyler Schmitt, um, I’ll have to e-mail him.
RW: (sample) So mine…
CT: …March 29th is LeAnne, April..5th is Kristen McAuliffe, uh, she’s not here either. April 12th is Groovy Dan. Is that cool for you, Groovy Dan?
DF: That’s cool with me.
CT: Alright, good. Um, and, April 19th is Zach. (door slams) Zach, is that okay with you?
Zach: April 19th?
CT: April 19th.
Z: Guess so.
CT: …and..March 22nd. Do you wanna book a show?
Z: Uhh…
CT: You wanna book a show. You have to--
LP: Yeah you do. Don’t be afraid.
CS: Zach, I’ll help you out--Zach, if you need help I’ll help you out--
CT: Yeah, we can help you out. There’s nothing wrong with doin’ that. I’ll give it to you. You feel right about it.
LP: It’s intimidating, but it’s a lot of f--it--you feel so good.
Z: I know a couple people with bands that, um (indistinct) that are, like, trying to book a sh--. (indistinct)
Matt Lovell: Keane, my pip. (laughs)
CT: Alright, so, um, I’ll e-mail you guys or something like that, but April 19th is your date, and March 22nd is your deadline. Just make a list of bands…
Z: Alright.
CT: and send ‘em over to me, and then I will have them vetted by Amy, which means she’s gonna make sure they didn’t stab anybody at any shows..
DF: (snorts)
CT: And, uh… And then, then, you can book them, but we’ll--we can talk about that, but--
ML: Bitch freeze.
CT: And then May 3rd is left open for right now, um, I didn’t know if Morgan wanted to book a show. Um, I think she told me she didn’t.
RW: (sampled) And, uhs, what else is there?
BM: To get it to ‘em…(indistinct, only transients)
RW: Yeah.
BM: (laughing)
RW: And uh, your favorite animal is, bye.
LP: I’ll ask her, I live with her now.
CT: But, in any--if anybody can’t do these, say that, uh, she can’t, er--yeah, Tyler can’t, I think Morgan deserves the right to have, definitely…
LP: Yeah.
CT: …book a show if she wants to.
LP: She did really really well with her simulation, too, because..she..shined on that.
CT: And, and, Dan, did you say you didn’t wanna book a show?
DS: U-Uh, I didn’t, but I don’t. Mhm.
CT: Okay. You don’t wanna book a show? Yeah, I figured you were really busy with Mothers of Rock, and, like, I can’t (indistinct) anywhere in here. Um, and…that’s--that’s all it is we have for right now. Um, you guys, joined..halfway through the semester, kind of, um, if things open up, if you guys wanna book a show, I can talk to you on that, but…
Unknown VPAC Member: I don’t know if I know, like, a lot of..bands, or, like…
CT: You can figure it out.
LP: (indistinct)
CS: You don’t have to know bands, like, you don’t have to know them personally, to do this, like, you can just ask them. A lot of them are really pumped to play at college shows.
UVPACM: Oh really?
LP: Yeah.
CS: Yeah, no, like, it’s a really easy--it’s easier than you think it is.
UVPACM: Yeah.
LP: Mhm.
CS: Like, you don’t have to, like, know somebody in the band.
UVPACM: Yeah.
CS: Like, you just go to, like, their Facebook, and they most of them will just have, like, a--a contact or a booking e-mail, and you’ll just be like “Hey, I’m so-and-so, like..booking for UMass Lowell, like, do you wanna play a show?” And they’re usually like “Yo, absolutely.” Like, it’s just a great--it’s usually really easy.
UVPACM: I’m wrapping up, actually, right now.
LP: Oh, and (indistinct).
CT: So..so, and Dylan, I don’t know, how do you feel about doing a show?
Dylan: I can do it.
CT: Yeah? Alright, well, if something opens up, I’ll give it to you, um, but, the people who are really, like, at everything doin’ a m--a ton o’ shit, that--
D: Oh yeah, me sometime…(indistinct)
CT: I’m gonna..have to give it to them…(trails off) So, that’s pretty much it. Dates are assigned, uh, helpers are assigned for Thursday. Following on February 2nd we’re gonna have, uh, Audio Training Day, which is gonna be Thursday night. We’re all gonna be chilling in The Common. Um, then, I mean, people who’re gonna--workin’ on the Good Old War show, how do you guys feel about that? Do you guys have any…thoughts, objections?
(someone coughs)
RL: Can we just all agree to narrow it down to either Fox or the Recital Hall? Can we please just not Cumnock, it had to be a big--
CS: (accepting) Just no Cumnock? You don’t wanna deal with that?
JC: I think it should be a backup, like…
RL: I don’t really..like doing shows in Cumnock, but it’s totally up to you guys.
CS: I mean, oh yeah…
LP: I feel like that should be our third option…
JC: Well we--we don’t know for sure if we’re gonna get the Recital Hall yet.
LP: …and then the other two in that, au--audio training…
RL: Yeah, y--I mean, I don’t know who any of it it..
CT: I’ll talk to Amy.
JC: It’s gonna be hard to inn--be innovative.
RL: Well, really at finals…
LP: Yeah.
CS: You might not even have to talk to Amy about that, you probably have to talk to somebody in Durgin about getting the Recital Hall…
LP: Amy Dinsmore, actually, in the..music..
RL: Amy... (indistinct)
CS: Oh, I thought she meant, like…
LP: ...on the, Durgin..Off--Office, you can go right in, she’s the desk right there in front of you
RL: Okay. Do it.
CS: So, yeah, talk to her about it, explain the event, might--that might be eligible for recital credit.
CT: Okay, cool. And, so, then, we have a new sound system, we went over that, the February 9th show we have people signed up for that, and..that’s it.
CS: Cool.
(clattering)
CT: Everybody go home.
LP: Um, I need to talk to, you know…
CT: Thank you, guys. Thank you all for coming, appreciate it.
Randy McGravey: What are you listenin’ to?
RW: No. From recording the MEISA meeting.
RM: (laughs) Oh.
