Giving this another go this year since last year was such a good time..

Winter sucks, so here's something to do.

Here's the deal: come over to Monster House (115 w 10th avenue) on Thursday, February 9th at 7:00 pm.
We'll have a potluck, you'll write your name on a piece of paper, and then put it in a hat.
From there we'll draw names and you'll get paired with mystery band-mates.

To make it fair for everyone: YOU HAVE TO PLAY AN INSTRUMENT THAT YOU ARE NOT PROFICIENT AT.
The point of this is to not only have fun, but to encourage people to play music who don't already and for those who are already musicians to try something different.

Do you wail on guitar? Ok, then you are the drummer instead!
Are you a great bass player, but afraid to sing? Ok, then you are doing the stand alone vocals!
Do you have a saxophone collecting dust in the basement that you have no idea how to play?
Have you never played an instrument before, but always wanted to? Or wanted to be in a band?
Here's your chance!

Then on Saturday, March 24th we'll have a show at the Monster House with all of the bands formed -- that gives you a little over a month to get it together!

Every band plays 3 songs, including a cover.
You don't have to be in a traditional guitar/bass/drums/vocals band, you can play whatever you want. Acapella style, home-made instruments, off the wall instruments like the xylophone/recorder/dulcimer/etc, you get the point.
*If you participated in Band In A Hat last year and are still NOT proficient at the instrument you played, you can play it again.*

PS: If you can't make the potluck and still want to be a part of this, send me an email (dearleanne@gmail.com) and we'll add your name to the hat.
