A HOLIDAY TREAT!
« on: November 08, 2014, 10:59:54 am »
Now that the 6th annual VENTURES EAST COAST FAN FEST
is history & 'officially declared' by the majority of our jammers
as 'the best fest ever,' I'd like to formally take this opportunity to
thank everyone involved in the 'overall process.'   

It's 'so easy' for everyone to throw kudos my way since I'm the
so-called yearly host but special mention needs to go to all my
UNPAID HELPERS.   Why we can't even say they work for peanuts.
These are the individuals that are present year after year not only at
the event but 'all along the way' leading up to it with suggestions, etc.
The phone calls, skype's & E-mails are numerous to say the least.

Jeff Green
Dennis Cote
Rodger Lank
Walt Stagner
Bernie Kester
Jim McGowan
Dave Zelinsky

Now for the holiday treat news:   As in past years, Walt & I will be
puttin' together a FEST DVD SET that encompass the 12 hours we
spent on SAT. OCT. 4TH honoring our musical heroes THE VENTURES.
This year we even took the offerings a step further climaxing the evening
with THE VENTURES cover THE BEACH BOYS.   Additionally be aware that all
told, counting two featured bands that played 90 minutes apiece- THE PICKNIKS
& BONGO STRAITS, there were 9 total pairings.   

'Cause two video cameras were used this time 'round, we don't anticipate having
a 'finished product' 'til sometime 'tween Thanksgiving & Xmas but rest assure it'll
most likely involve a total of 8 DVD's.   Particulars for pre-ordering are below:

COST:   $35 USA, CANADA    $40 OVERSEAS

PAY BY CHECK OR PAY PAL:   

Tom Baltaeff  1101 Bryan St.  Drexel Hill, Pa.  19026    E-mail- tabalt11@yahoo.com

Remember patronizing now gives us a leg up money-wise towards all '015 expenses!

Regards, Tom B.

And don't forget the 'back seat drivers', 'pizza distributors' and 'table rollers'!  We all had a great time and are ready to sign up for 2015!

I hear you 'loud & clear' Howard.   You & Lucia
were invaluable to me this year & I can guarantee
'right now' that if you return in '015 & duplicate your
efforts you'll officially be added to the UNPAID HELPERS list!

You're right Walt- gonna have to
figure out a way to reward them
for their 'tireless dedication' to
pitchin' in every year!

Open to suggestions!

Actually Howard while reviewing 'fest footage,'
you got 'quite a response' during the setting
up for the group photo when you exclaimed
upon seeing me wearing a cymbal on my
head- "He can easily be a cymbal for all
of us!"   PRICELESS.
