Date: Wed, 8 Mar 1995 00:37:22 -0800 From: albatros@netcom.com (Alloy Petrofsky) To: cbaa_discussion@uclink2.berkeley.edu, calband_discussion@uclink2.berkeley.edu Subject: New band wants you Rosenquist & Petrofsky Productions are pleased to present the loudest, hippest, funkiest, groovinest, most ecclesiastical band ever presented: **** THE SCREAMIN' HYPIN' REVIVAL ***** Yes! Music *can* save your mortal soul. And we'll show you how! Are you looking for an occasional opportunity to play some rip-roarin' charts with scores of new and old friends and a slightly insane director? Are you over eighteen? If you answered yes to either of these questions, and you can play a wind or percussion instrument, you owe it to yourself and your spiritual well-being to come to our first rehearsal: SUNDAY, MARCH 19, 1995, at the Cal Band rehearsal hall (BRH), below Golden Bear Center on the UC Berkeley campus. Doors will open at 7:00PM. After sufficient time to setup and warmup, music will commence at about 7:15PM. After an hour or two of music, we will adjourn to Kipp's for pizza, beverage, and carousing. At about 2:45AM, one of the remaining hearty souls will proclaim that he or she is the third coming of Jesus Christ, and that the last coming didn't go quite as planned. Then everyone will go home. If at all feasible, please bring your own instrument. We may be able to provide some snares and tubas. All wind players are encouraged to bring a maraca or two, or some other percussion instrument to play during rests. For the first rehearsal, our music consists of about a dozen of Erik's arrangements. There will probably be about 3-5 gigs/year, including the Bay to Breakers footrace/street party, and the Castro Halloween street party/drag race. We will discuss other possibilities (strikeball games, parades, festivals, etc.) at the rehearsal. If you have any questions, please call Al Petrofsky, Manager, +1 510 649 9463, or Erik Rosenquist, Director, +1 415 323 4635. Remember to tell all your friends. Note: Any resemblance between The Screamin' Hypin' Revival and other Screen' Hypin' bands, living or dead, is not entirely coincidental. Erik was the original director of the Screamin' Hypin' Band from 1990 to 1991, and Al was a member through much of its existence. That band's original manager, Ed Goodson, who now lives in Oregon, wishes us well.

Date: Thu, 4 May 1995 05:50:21 -0700 From: Algol Petrofsky <albatros> To: screamin-announce@netcom.com Subject: Calistoga gig on 5/7, rehearsal 6/11 Hi, everyone. REHEARSAL ========= First, let me mention that the next rehearsal will be Sunday, 6/11 at 7:09PM at the Cal Band Rehearsal Hall (BRH). (And in the future, we will be having rehearsals the second Sunday of every month, or at least 70% of the months. Definitely the second Sunday of every June '95.) GIG === Now, the exciting stuff: this Sunday, Reverand Al's Screamin' Hypin' Revival Band (RASHRB) will be performing its first gig at the Calistoga Mayfest. Yes, it's fun, sun, and toasted buns at the Napa County fairgrounds! SCHEDULE ======== 12:30PM Leave Davis or Oakland. 2:00PM Arrive in parking lot at Calistoga. Find band. 2:20PM-5:00PM Rehearse, break, perform, break, perform again. 5:00PM-Midnight Optional pool party and barbeque. All times approximate. UNIFORM ======= The (optional) (not-so-)uniform is any approximation of a choir robe, with a preference for nylon high school graduation robes in sleazy discolored hues. [[By the way, if you have any great name/costume/logo/schtick ideas, please drop me a line.]] POTLUCK ======= I'll be arranging for burgers, hot dogs, buns, condiments, and napkins for the barbeque. If you're so inclined, please bring whatever your intuition and stomach tell you to bring, which should definitely be drinks and salads for some of you, while for others it will be something more perverse like ding-dongs, or tofu, or more beef. Let your diversity flow. DIRECTIONS ========== >From San Francisco, etc.: take I80 East. After Vallejo, take 37 West over to 29 North (Follow signs for Napa). Stay on 29 until Calistoga. >From Davis: take I80 West. At Cordelia (just after the 680 junction), take 12 West over to 29 North (Follow signs for Napa). Stay on 29 until Calistoga. At Calistoga: Follow Rt. 29 as it turns right onto Lincoln. After about five blocks, turn left onto Grant. In about four blocks you'll see the fairgrounds. Enter the parking lot and find the band.

What an incredible gig in Calistoga, huh? Well, hold on to your seats, there's more... REHEARSAL Sunday June 11, 7:11PM, BRH. And every second Sunday of the month through October(7/9, 8/13, 9/10, and 10/8). ISLETON CRAWDAD FESTIVAL ======================== 10:30am Sunday, June 18, 1995. 20,000 crawdad maniacs at the world's largest crawdad party, sponsored by Budweiser. There'll be New Orleans/Cajun food, 18 bands, crawdad races, crawdad parades, fermented crawdad beverages, crawdad wedgie contests, etc. Three free drink tickets per person. TANTALIZING EXCERPTS FROM THE OFFICIAL BROCHURE: Pinch Tails and Suck Heads. ...On Father's Day Weekend, June 16-18th, an outrageous party is presented to the people of the world. The cries of "The Crawdads is Comin'" bounce off tule grass walls in the California Delta, while the rattle of happy feet dancin' in the streets to the wails of Zydeco, Cajun and Dixieland music beat out the best of sounds. The aroma of Delta Delicacies are enwrapped by good times and good friends and it's the closest thing to a Paradise Weekend. The once sleepy, little Sacramento River town of Isleton (Pop. 863 including cats and dogs) comes alive on Father's Day Weekend and transfers itself into the World's Largest Crawdad Festival: "Crawdad Town, USA, the Greatest Show in California". And if you ain't never seen the "Crawdad Festival" you ain't never lived. Crawdad music fills the skies, combining the fantastic flavoratics of Cajun Cookins, Alligator Tails, Buffalo Skins, Pan Fried Okra, Red Beans and Rice, Street entertainment, Parades, Queens and all the sun and fun a body can stand.... [I'm not sure what kind of queens we're talking here, but I'm afraid they'll be a poor substitute for the SF Gay Freedom Day parade, which unfortunately falls on the same day as the gig.] SCHEDULE All times approximate. Morning. Leave Davis at 9:30, or Berkeley at 9:00, or.... 10:30PM. Arrive in Isleton, park, and find band. 12:00PM Parade from one end of Isleton to the other (3 blocks). 12:20PM Play for random throngs of people. 1:30PM Stop playing. Drink. Pinch tails. Suck heads.

Just a reminder that we have rehearsal this Sunday (6/11) at 7:11PM in Berkeley, followed by the incredibly life-enhancing Isleton Crawdad Festival gig the following Sunday (6/18) at 10:30AM in Isleton. If you know you are coming to either or both and you can take the time to send me a one-line response to that effect, it would be much appreciated. The Kipp's portion of the rehearsal will be especially important this month because we need to work out our parade shtick, so bring your ideas. At the rehearsal we will have at least three NEW TUNES: "I Feel the Earth Move" (Carole King), a new instant classic by Erik. "It Was a Very Good Year" (Francis Albert Sinatra), the mark II arrangement, Erik's baritone feature that will make even the coldest cynic weep. and lastly, "Hazy Shade of Winter", the Zinn arrangement, ***DIRECTED LIVE AND IN-PERSON BY PAUL ZINN!!*** Okay, its not new, but it's damn exciting. Watch for more Zinn stuff in the coming months. (Paul Zinn appears courtesy of Big, Ruthless, Courteous Record Company, Inc.)

Sun Jul 9 7:11PM Rehearsal Sun Aug 13 7:11PM Rehearsal Sun Sep 10 7:11PM Rehearsal Sun Oct 8 7:11PM Rehearsal Tue Oct 31 7:41PM Castro Halloween. There will probably be two more gigs between Crawdads and Castro, but I cannot comment further at this time. Remember: try to show up at 7, and then if you're ten minutes late, you're still a minute early. *** Lastly, here's the roster, possibly useful for getting a ride. It would probably be more useful if I'd been collecting geographical addresses, which I will start doing on Sunday.

Date: Fri, 16 Jun 1995 10:15:15 -0700 From: Allardbay Petrofsky <albatros@netcom.com> To: screamin-announce@netcom.com Subject: Gig schedule and directions. Schedule: All times approximate. Morning. Leave Davis at 9:15, or Berkeley at 8:45, or.... 10:30PM. Arrive in Isleton, park, find band, rehearse. 11:20PM Meander. Play. Mill. 12:00PM Parade from one end of Isleton to the other (3 blocks). 12:20PM Play for random throngs of people. 1:30PM Stop playing. Drink. Pinch tails. Suck heads. The Festival runs from 10AM-8PM. The suggested departure times allow more time to get to Isleton than would normally be necessary. This is because 20,000 people will be using a road built for 863 (Isleton's normal population), and traffic will get horrendous. Directions: Isleton is at the bottom of Sacramento County, across the Sacramento River from Rio Vista, on state highway 160, 4 miles north of highway 12. From San Francisco Bay: get on 680 North (From SF take 80 to 580 to 24). At Pleasant Hill take 242 to 4 East. After Antioch, follow the freeway as it turns into 160 East. Follow for 18 miles to Isleton. From Davis: take 113 South to 12 East to Rio Vista. After crossing the Sacromento River, take 160 East for 4 miles to Isleton. In Isleton: At the end of town, after H street, look for an entrance to Festival parking on your right (the south). Meeting place is at the school: go three blocks south on H street, turn right and go three blocks down 6th street to the corner of Gaswell Rd. Remember the town is quite small, so do not panic if you get lost. If you're in Isleton, you can't be more than four blocks from the school.
Date: Fri, 16 Jun 1995 10:51:04 -0700 From: Aloonkeepersay Petrofsky <albatros@netcom.com> To: screamin-announce@netcom.com Subject: Pre-gig camping. As previously mentioned, we have a campsite reserved Saturday night near Isleton. Besides beating the traffic, campers will enjoy barbequeing, eating, drinking, sunning, star-gazing, and midnight swimming in the Sacramento River. I have the following people on my list: Peggy Amos Witt Ashbrook Tim Castro Diane Dybalski Matt Kaufman Lee Mehelis Al Petrofsky Erik Rosenquist Laura Rosenquist Brad Wetmore Please call me (+1 510 649 9463) soon with any additions or corrections. Campsite Directions: (See directions to Isleton in other email.) Brannan Island State Recreation Area is on Highway 160 a few miles south of 12. From Davis, this means you will turn right from 12 onto 160 south, instead of left as you would to go to Isleton. We will be at campsite number four. Erik and Laura will get there at 3:00PM. You should come after that but before midnight (to catch the swimming). What to Bring: Food and drink. Barbeque supplies are taken care of, and Erik will have a bunch of delectable marinated flesh pieces (I can't remember if it was chicken, pig, or cow), and I will bring some hotdogs, paper supplies, and condiments. So bring something else, or more of the same. Breakfast foods will be good too. $5/person to cover the reservation fee (if you haven't already paid me). Sleeping Bag, Toiletries, Horn, Music, Sun Protection, Swimming Costume, Conditioner, Razor, Lipstick, Eyeliner, and Three Pairs of Sensible Pumps. Bring a tent if you've got one. Otherwise, don't sweat it. There will be enough tent/tarp space for everyone.
Date: Fri, 23 Jun 1995 05:04:07 -0700 From: Aluniferous Petrofsky <albatros@netcom.com> To: screamin-announce@netcom.com Subject: Crawdads report; Rehearsal 7/9; Brewers' gig 7/16; possible 7/22 gig ======== CRAWDADS ======== The Crawdad Festival was a smashing, tail-pinching, head-sucking success. The pre-gig camping featured savory ribs a la Rosenquist, fascinating amateur entomology, and a zero casualty rate at the midnight Sacramento swimming session. The gig proper featured wildly enthusiastic audiences, wildly unenthusiastic crawdads, and more small-town good cheer than one would think possible. We won a big ol' trophy, too! For "Best Organizational Band: Reverend Al's Rival Band". You can see this priceless instant heirloom at the next ============================ REHEARSAL SUNDAY 7/9, 7:11PM ============================ At the same old place. Erik has a new tune, "Elanor Rigby", and there will be two new (to us) Zinn tunes: Radar Love, and Night Train. Please respond if you know you are coming. (This saves me the time and money of having to call around to ensure we have a full band.) =========================================================================== CALIFORNIA SMALL BREWERS' FESTIVAL GIG, SUNDAY 7/16, 11:30PM, MOUNTAIN VIEW =========================================================================== This gig promises to be a great time for the whole family, especially the alcoholics. We'll all have free passes to try all the brews. We'll play between Noon and 1PM and then be free to hang out, eat, drink, talk hops, and listen to all the other great bands (including Paul Zinn's). If you're going to be in the area the night before (possibly because you're playing in a very similar gig on Saturday with the Repercussions), you're welcome to stay at Erik and Laura's place just a few minutes away in Menlo Park. Please respond if you know you are coming. (This saves for me the expense and time of having to telephone folks to ensure we won't be lame.) ============================================================= SAN JOSE SABERCATS ARENA FOOTBALL POSSIBLE GIG SATURDAY 7/22 ============================================================= Yes, we may have an opportunity to play for the incredibly hip also-rans of professional sports. This would probably involve playing at people's tailgate parties and having our own. Then we would go inside, watch the game and play more. (I'm pretty sketchy on the details.) If you think you'd probably want to come, let me know. If there's enough interest, and the chance materializes, we'll take it. ---------------------------------------- Reverend Al's Screamin' Hypin' Revival Band Manager: Rev.

We will be recording (after rising for) our national anthem (see A's gig, below), and maybe a couple other tunes. If you have recording equipment we can use, please call or email me (+1 510 649 9463) or Erik (+1 415 323 4635). For your viewing pleasure we will be displaying the freshly won Isleton Crawdad Festival trophy, envy of the gods. We'll also be showing an even fresher brief (<5 minute) promotional video we've thrown together, plus some raw, uncensored footage from the Crawdad and Mayfest gigs that had to be cut from the promo. IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO TELL ME YOU'RE COMING! Respond by Friday, and you will be eligible to consume this month's SPECIAL REHEARSAL BEVERAGE (or the Equally Attractive (But Not Quite So Capitalized) Non-Alcoholic Special Rehearsal Beverage). Actual beverage selection is announced immediately prior to consumption. Extra-special thanks to all who have responded already. (Advance responses are greatly appreciated but by no means necessary.) =========================================================================== CALIFORNIA SMALL BREWER'S FESTIVAL, SUNDAY, JULY 16, 11:03AM, MOUNTAIN VIEW =========================================================================== (Please note the time is twelve hours and twenty-seven minutes earlier than I mistakenly claimed in my last correspondence.) The second-largest west coast brewing festival, with over 40 breweries and 17,000 festivants in attendance, the seventh annual brewfest promises to be a smashing good time, with lots of FREE BEER. Some of the less beer-motivated people in the band have asked me "Reverend Al, what's in this gig for me, the not so beer-motivated person?". Well, I'm glad you asked, because there's so much more to be had at the brewfest than just brews. There's fest, Fest, FEST! Dozens of Hoppin' Bands! Miles of Food! Oodles of Fun! FREE T-SHIRTS! Mountain Viewing! 17,000 Festivants! Here a Fest! There a Fest! Everywhere a FEST!FEST!! (Insert previous pleas for commitments here.) ====================================================================== OAKLAND ATHLETICS GIG POSSIBLE IN AUGUST. SAN JOSE SABRECATS: NOT IN '95 ====================================================================== We're working on an A's gig for sometime in August. This could include opening the game playing the National Anthem on the field(!), hence the recording on Sunday. Stay tuned. The previously mentioned Sabrecats Arena Football gig will not happen this year. Odds are good this will see the light in '96, however. ===================================================================== MISC MISC MISC MISC MISC MISC MISC MISC MISC MISC MISC MISC MISC MISC ===================================================================== As always, you are encouraged to send me your offers of help, suggestions, gig ideas, criticism, complaints, general bitching, large bills, and sexual propositions.

Somethin' you call love, but confess: you been-a messin' where you shouldn't-a been-a messin', and now someone else is gettin' all your best.

Date: Thu, 13 Jul 1995 03:58:42 -0700 From: Aladjusted Petrofsky <albatros@netcom.com> To: screamin-announce@netcom.com Subject: Rehearsal recap, brewfest this sunday, misc, roster. =============== REHEARSAL RECAP =============== We had a great showing at BRH (50+) and at Kipp's (20-30). Wit (our Deacon of Gigs) presented the gigantic eye-straining sweepstakes trophy we won for being the best thing in the Isleton Crawdad Parade. We made a recording of Evil Ways, Star-Spangled Banner, and Venus. It has a lot of distortion (as you'd expect from 50+ people indoors), but you can hear most of the instruments, and I think it conveys our energy pretty well. The Special Rehearsal Beverage was Chocolate Climax (chocolate milk with (Rumple Minze) peppermint schnapps), which received good reviews. The supposedly Equally Attractive Non-Alcoholic SRB was Chocolate Not-So Climax (chocolate milk with peppermint extract). That was the first time I'd made it, and I apologize for the horror. I used about five times too much peppermint, making it undrinkable, and pushing the bounds of non-alcoholic, since the "extract" is 178 proof. Our work-in-progress promotional video was shown, and I forgot to thank Peggy Amos for her editing and camera work, and Brad Wetmore for the use of his way cool camera. =========================================================================== CALIFORNIA SMALL BREWER'S FESTIVAL, SUNDAY, JULY 16, 11:03AM, MOUNTAIN VIEW =========================================================================== ====================== HYPIN' HYPE (RECYCLED) ====================== The second-largest west coast brewing festival, with over 40 breweries and 17,000 festivants in attendance, the seventh annual brewfest promises to be a smashing good time, with lots of FREE BEER. Some of the less beer-motivated people in the band have asked me "Reverend Al, what's in this gig for me, the not so beer-motivated person?". Well, I'm glad you asked, because there's so much more to be had at the brewfest than just brews. There's fest, Fest, FEST! Dozens of Hoppin' Bands! Miles of Food! Oodles of Fun! FREE T-SHIRTS! Mountain Viewing! 17,000 Festivants! Here a Fest! There a Fest! Everywhere a FEST!FEST!! ======= UNIFORM ======= Our special trial uniform for this gig comprises a necktie and an optional white shirt. If this seems oppressively corporate, you're doing it wrong. The tie should be sufficiently wacky that you would be fired for wearing it to work at IBM (try not to resort to taking a red power tie and writing "FUCK IBM" on it). The optional white shirt may be formal or a t-shirt. Extra points for wearing a clip-on with a t-shirt. I will bring some ties for those who can't find one, or who don't hear word of this. Please feel free to take artistic license with this uniform (there's a special prize for anyone who manages to affix a railroad tie to his or her neck). Interesting headwear is always appropriate. ======== SCHEDULE ======== 11:03AM Arrive, park, and meet at or near the corner of Villa and Franklin. (See directions below) Later Rehearse. After that Perform. ca. 1:00PM Stop, drink brews, eat food, view mountains. Pinch tails and suck heads (where applicable). ========== DIRECTIONS ========== Mountain View is in Santa Clara County, between Palo Alto and Sunnyvale. Get to El Camino Real in Mt View. For most folks, this means 101 south to Mt View, then 85 South to the El Camino Real West exit. San Josers may take 237 West until it ends. 280 denizens should take 85 North or whatever feels good. Turn North (right) on Castro Street. This is downtown Mt View's scenic main drag. Turn left on Villa St, the second to last street before the train tracks. Go two blocks to Franklin. On your right should be 17,000 festivating brew fans. Find street parking and return. ======= LODGING ======= If you need lodging in the area on Saturday night, contact Erik Rosenquist (415 323 4635) or Chris Ferejohn (415 941 4895), whose floors will be available. ===== OTHER ===== I'm looking for an experienced cameraman, camerawoman, or alternatively gendered Camera-American who would like to operate Brad's camera for us. As always, you're encouraged to drop me a line if you're sure you're coming and you haven't already told me so. If you can't find a ride, call me, or you can try arranging something with the aid of the roster at the end of this message. ================= UPCOMING SCHEDULE ================= Rehearsals: August 13, September 10, and October 8. Second Sunday of each month, at 7:11PM in the Cal Band Rehearsal Hall. Gigs: Tuesday October 31, San Francisco Halloween Street Party. We're working on others.

Here's the hypin' hoohaw: =========================================== OAKLAND ATHLETICS GIG, AUGUST 20, 11:03AM =========================================== Yes, we're playing the National Anthem, the U.S. one, at a major league ballgame. That's right, a guaranteed standing ovation. Actually, the crowd is only required to stand, but I'm confident we can inspire them to ovate. Highly Tentative Schedule: 10:30AM-11:30AM Arrive, eat, drink, and be merry. 11:30AM- 1:00PM Rehearse, play at other people's parties, enter stadium. 1:00PM- 1:03PM Star-Spangled Banner from center field. 1:03PM- 1:05PM Last note. 1:05PM- 4:02PM Athletics bury the Baltimore Orioles. We'll probably have enough tickets for spouses, etc. Let me know if you're bringing anyone extra. Bring as many youngun's as you got, because their tickets only cost a buck anyway. If you're going to come and you can spare the keystrokes to send email to tell me, you'll be a better person for it. I'll have more details at ============================= REHEARSAL, AUGUST 13, 7:11PM ============================= We should have at least one new Scott Stanford arrangement. Other attractions include new, nifty business cards, and the best Special Rehearsal Beverage yet. ============== MUSIC REQUESTS ============== You can now make music requests by email or via the world-wide web (see addresses at end of mail) for whatever songs you may be missing. I'll also have paper forms that you can use at the rehearsals. Here's the current library: Tune: Arranger: Composer, Relevant Previous Arranger: Recording by: Angel Eyes Rosenquist Dennis/Brent Beer Barrel Polka Moffit Brown/Timm Caravan Rosenquist Ellington Day Tripper Rosenquist Lennon/McCartney Beatles Elanor Rigby Rosenquist Lennon/McCartney Beatles Evil Ways Rosenquist Henry Santana Hazy Shade of Winter Zinn Simon,Bangles Bangles I Feel the Earth Move Rosenquist King King It Was a Very Good Year Rosenquist Drake Sinatra Make Me Smile Castro Pankow Chicago Nightrain Zinn Guns n' Roses Number One Rosenquist Radar Love Zinn Golden Earring Samba These Days Rosenquist Star-Spangled Banner Sousa Smith A Taste of Honey Rosenquist Scott/Marlow,Alpert Alpert These Boots Are Made...

I rearranged and expanded the web site today. Be sure to waste some time there sometime. It is my goal that someday someone will see fit to describe our band the way Stan Cornyn described Nancy Sinatra in the original LP liner notes from her 1966 "Boots" album: She looks good, dresses good, lives good, eats, drinks, loves, breathes, dances, sings, cries good. Five foot three and tiger eyes. A mouth made for lollipops or kisses, Stingers or melting smiles. Ninety-five pounds of affection. She's been there already. Barely in her twenties, she looks younger. That look, like Lolita Humbert, like Daisy Clover. The power to exalt, or to destroy, wanting only the former, but unafraid to invoke the latter if the time comes. The eyes that see through, know more, look longer. Unafraid to pull on the boots again, toss off a burnt out thing with a casual "So long, babe", and get. A young fragile living thing, on its own in a wondrous-wicked-woundup-wasted-wild-worries-wisedup-warmbodied world. On her own. Earning her daily crepes and Cokes by singing the facts of love. Her voice tells as much as her songs. No faked up grandure, her voice is like it is: a little tired, a little put down, a lot loving. No one is born sophisticated. It's a place you have to crawl to, crawling out of hayseed country, over miles of unsanded pavement, past Trouble, past corners and forks with no auto club signs to point you, till you get there and you wake up wiser. She's arrived. She sings you about the long crawl. And makes you have to listen. She's there. ---------------------------------------- Reverend Al's Screamin' Hypin' Revival Band Manager: Rev.

Collins. There'll be printed phone rosters, so we can all start stalking each other. And, of course, for those who confirm their attendance in advance, there will be Special Rehearsal Beverage. =========================================== OAKLAND ATHLETICS GIG, AUGUST 20, 11:03AM =========================================== It's still there, including the National Anthem. More details at rehearsal, and in next week's email. By the way, although our official policy is "membership is open to all socialized individuals who can blow or percuss", people should not come to a gig unless they've come to one of the last two rehearsals, or they've acquired approval from the Special Circumstances Committee (which would be me). ====== SURVEY ====== I've written a survey that I will be handing out at rehearsal. I've included it below so you can respond by email if you'd like. Please feel free to disregard as many questions as you'd like, and just tell me whatever you think might be helpful. [For no compelling reason, I've included sample answers, which serve only as examples of not very helpful responses.] Optional (Of course, everything's optional) Personal Info: Name: [Altoid Petrofsky] Instrument: [Lyre] Number of rehearsals you've been to: [4] Number of gigs you've been to: [3] Two quickies: Number of rehearsals per year you'd like to do: [365.24] Number of gigs per year you'd like to do: [1] Various aspects of band: Rehearsals: Good? Bad? Possible improvements? Discuss amongst yourself. [Al shouldn't have so much Special Rehearsal Leverage.] How does the music grab you? [Too much god-damned polyphony!] How have you liked the gig selection, and what gigs would you like to do? [Aren't all these above-water gigs getting kind of old?] Explore your personal feelings about performances (including uniforms). [We should wear small mammals and do flamenco dancing.] What's right/wonderful/subwonderful about Erik? (Alternate version: If Erik were a breakfast cereal, he would be ...) [Erik is my everything.] What's Al done for/to you lately? (Alternate version: If Al were any fruit or vegetable, he would be a ...) [Al could never be a fruit or vegetable, because the simple fact is that he's a giant used Q-tip that someone forgot to throw away. No idea can escape his head without becoming coated with a layer of useless wax, his weak paper body is ready for disposal, and his feet can take us nowhere, for they are mired in nasty brown filth.] We currently have an open-door membership policy (Show up, you're section leader!). Is this cool? Should we modify/refine this? [Let's leave the door open, but install a doorbell.] Specific proposals: Would you pay $10 for a Screamin' Hypin' Flippin' Folder for your music? [YES!] How would you feel about $10 annual dues for the music/copying/fun fund? [YES!] Hiatus: suppose the band took an annual three month break in the winter. Would you lose chops and interest, or return refreshed, or go insane? [YES!] Anything else, anything at all: [YES!] ---------------------------------------- Reverend Al's Screamin' Hypin' Revival Band Manager: Rev.

Date: Thu, 17 Aug 1995 14:19:15 -0700 From: Algophobia Petrofsky < albatros@netcom.com> To: screamin-announce@netcom.com Subject: rehearsal recap; Sunday gig at A's; ========= REHEARSAL ========= We played two new tunes, Istanbul and Pump It Up. They both rock. The Special Rehearsal Beverage was 7-up, orange sherbet, and gin. (The Extra-Special Non-Alcoholic Beverage was 7-up and sherbet d'orange.) It went over well despite a decided lack of mixing technology (personally, I like to be able to taste all the individual flavors). Thank you to all who completed the surveys I handed out. I'll still be collecting them at the gig and the September rehearsal. I forgot to show everyone our new logo by Aaron Katzman. I brought it to Kip's, where it received fabulous reviews. You can see it at the web site. It may be the foundation for a t-shirt design. ======================================= OAKLAND A'S GAME, THIS SUNDAY AUGUST 20 ======================================= "We are delighted to have Reverend Al's Screamin' Hypin' Revival Band perform the National Anthem on Sunday, August 20, when the A's take on the Baltimore Orioles at 1:05 p.m...." --Letter from the Oakland Athletics Baseball Company I have the tickets in hand. We'll be sitting in rows 6-9 of upper reserved section 320. These seats are just to the left of home plate, facing about seven degress north of east. Plan your skin care needs accordingly. We will park in Lot A, near the eastern-most pole with big "A"s on it (three of them, in a triangular formation). Note that there are some poles without "A"s. DIRECTIONS: Take the 66th Ave exit from 880, turn right into the parking lot, pay $7, and go to the leftmost "A" pole. From bart, cross the walkway, turn right, and find us at the first "A" pole. Parking is free at bart. TIME: All the really cool people will be getting there for our tailgate party at 10:30 (when the parking lot opens). Less coolness-endowed folk should show up by 11:15. We will start playing by 11:30 at the latest. At 12:30 we'll enter the stadium from behind the bleachers. After the anthem, we'll return to the cars to stow our instruments (or just take yours up to your seat) (or just go home at that point if you wish). We'll have a barbeque pit, and I'll be bringing paper products, condiments, and 10 lbs of meat (in standard tubular and disk formats). All other food will be up to blind potluck. UNIFORM: Wear a white shirt (any style and fabric), a necktie (the more screamin' and/or hypin' the better), and a baseball-style cap. POSSIBLE SPECIAL BONUS: It's HELMET DAY! I'm working on special helmet arrangements for us. EXTRA TICKETS: I'm anticipating having an extra ticket for everyone that wants one, and maybe more. In any case, your friends should have no trouble buying tickets for $7 ($1 for kids) and sitting with us. ======== UPCOMING ======== Sep 10, Sunday, 7:11PM Rehearsal Oct 8, Sunday, 7:11PM Rehearsal Oct 31, Tuesday, Evening, SF Castro St. Halloween Street Party ====== TITLES ====== Some folks have asked if they too can be reverends or bishops.

Date: Thu, 7 Sep 1995 16:24:27 -0700 From: Alfredo Petrofsky <albatros@netcom.com> To: screamin-announce@netcom.com Subject: rehearsal this sunday; no Oct 1 gig; commandos; PSLs Greetings, revivalists... ========= REHEARSAL ========= This SUNDAY, SUNDAY!, SUNDAY!!, at 7:11PM in the CAL BAND REHEARSAL ARENA, undefeated world heavyweight directing champion ERIK ROSENQUIST will once again pick up the baton and CRUSH EVERYTHING IN HIS PATH!! There'll be WALL-TO-WALL ACTION as he TAKES ON ALL COMERS, GREAT AND SMALL. You'll be ELBOW-DEEP in the excitement as you BECOME A PART OF THE ACTION from your ringside seat!! ..whew. There'll also be new tunes including Bennet Freidman's arrangement of Three Dog Night's "Eli's coming", and the world premiere of "Reverend Al's Screamin' Hypin' Revival Band Hymn", music and lyrics by Robert Collins. **SPECIAL BONUS**: several people have asked for a RASHRB business card with their own name on it. I'm not sure what the point is, but what the hell, email me your name, title, and optional phone number by Saturday, and I'll print you a card. (If you then fail to show on Sunday, your card will be ceremonially annihilated). Of course, there'll also be Special Rehearsal Beverage. ================= UPCOMING SCHEDULE ================= There will not be an October 1 gig (the possibility of which was mentioned at the A's game). Sunday, 9/10 Rehearsal Sunday, 10/8 Rehearsal Tuesday, 10/31 Halloween in the Castro. Our Raisin D'eter. I'd like to casually reiterate our new hard-ass policy that people must actually come to one of the two rehearsals preceeding a gig, or subject themselves to the whim and whimsy of the Special Circumstances Committee (which comprises me). ================================================= IMPORTANT WORDS FROM ERIK (RE: SECTION COMMANDOS) ================================================= We now bring you an important message from our director, Erik Rosenquist: First and foremost, I need an answer to this moral question: Our next door neighbors are VERY loud about their "amourousness" late at night when everybody in our complex is trying to sleep. And it's not pretty -- gargling, 'oof'-ing, plenty of "Marley from 'A Christmas Carol'" death howls and, of course, inhuman grunts and snorts. We see the neigbors often enough to speak. What should Erik Manners SAY??? a) "You vile amoral insectile vermin - who'd WANT to have sex with you?" b) "We were doing animal-sound BINGO last night and I won with the Peking-man grunt at 2:30 - Thanks!!" c) "I was sort of wondering how DO you make that sound like a bus full of schoolkids driving off a cliff?" d) (Your answer here) Send it to erik@etak.com On the less important side, I'm trying to start some organizing musically for our oh-so-intriguing band. Lots of folks come up to me at rehearsal and ask one of 2 questions: 1) Where can I get a packet of music for my horn? 2) We hate the director - is there a way to kill him and get rid of the body? My answers are GOING to be (in the nearish future) 1) See your section commando (or leader, or brahma, etc.) They will have what you need. You will love them and treat them the same as you would treat me. You have been told, now go. 2) Cut into little cubes and consume. Section brahmas (etc.) will help get us a quorum for that section for all gigs and rehearsals, as well as be the welcome sight at many of the same. Imparting info is part of it. It would actually be good if they could play the instrument they're doing, so that we could have a minimal band with JUST section leaders (though I don't expect to take any gigs that limit attendance). Who gets to be it? Consensus amoung the section should be OK. Who would WANT to be it? (Section its???) Folks that can help make the band be better than just Al or I could hope to do, plus the added power (section rangers???) of being that thing, that praised and reviled, beloved and despised, consequential yet insignifigant, yes yet no, that --- that --- CLEVELAND of the Screamin' Hypin' Revival Band!!!! Big sections (trps) should probably use 2 folks, and alternates would be good. I'm having a great time, the band is a blast and our gigs have been really fun and cool sounding. Halloween is going to happen EVEN IF IT DOESN'T RAIN, so come to the next rehearsal to get more tunes playable. - keep recruiting folks (a tri-tom or timbales would be great; maybe some perky bones), keep enjoying yourself and feel free to use my email-box to spew out your lauds and anti-plaudits. Cheers! (now where's my drink). If you're interested in section brahmanating, call/email Erik and/or me sometime this month. ============== A'S GIG REVIEW ============== "Now please rise for our National Anthem, performed by..." (So, you're *sure* this is right? Okay, what the hell...) "... REVEREND Al's, Screamin', Hypin', Revival BAND!". My new favorite pregnant pause. That A's announcer is a real pro. Not only can he pronounce "Hypin'", he gave the most dramatic reading our name has ever had. The pre-game meat was suitably charred, the parking lot audience was hip, the field was green, and the A's won. 1.5 qts. cow blood, no breasts, bass drum fu. Al Bob says check it out. ====================== PERSONAL SEAT LICENSES ====================== For a limited time only, we are offering 10-year PSLs for only $500, which will give you license to kiss my personal seat. See me privately for details. See you Sunday... ---------------------------------------- Reverend Al's Screamin' Hypin' Revival Band Manager: Rev.

Well, hold onto your whiskers, 'cause this month the Revival Band is comin' at ya with more fun than a 3-ring trial!! ================================================================= REHEARSAL THIS SUNDAY, OCTOBER 8, 7:13PM CAL BAND REHEARSAL HALL ================================================================= (note that due to fluctuations in the Earth's orbit, we will be meeting 2 minutes later than usual this month.) This is it! The final rehearsal before the big event! We'll be blowing through a whole lot of stuff to get ready for the gig. Bring your chops. The only new tune will be everybody's favorite dance-along, the Village People's "YMCA", arranged by McGowan/Proudfoot. As always, bring all your friends! There'll be lots of music packets for new folks (hopefully enough). But, remember that we ask that people do not just show up at the gig without having attended either the September or October rehearsal. (Note that there is no November rehearsal, see FUTURE below). ============================================================================ GIG: ALL HALLOW'S EVE, OCTOBER 31, 7:30-11:00PM, THE CASTRO IN SAN FRANCISCO ============================================================================ (time is tentative; more details at the rehearsal and in next week's email) This is IT! Last Spring, Erik and I talked about getting a band together to play for the legendary audiences of the Castro District on Halloween. We decided that the best way to prepare for it (and to pass the time until October) was to create a standing band. That's the story. Now you know. THIS IS WHY WE'RE HERE. The largest Halloween celebration on the planet (I am not making this up), the Castro gig is the absolute best reason ever to blow air through or across a resonating tube. It's also a good reason to beat something. There will be huge crowds, pulsating energy, fabulous costumes, and enough hairspray to flood a small city. VITALLY IMPORTANT: YOU MUST HAVE A COSTUME. We are not the gawking midwestern tourists, we are an integral part of the throbbing energetic masses yearning to dance harder, to achieve a greater consciousness, and above all to keep that old pink gorilla suit from completely falling apart before the end of the evening. Again, You Must Have a Costume. Start thinking. If you can't think of anything new, the old reliable standbys are: drag (ask me for help), gorilla suit, and ghost (white sheet with 3 holes for eyes and mouth; seven to twenty-three holes for Charlie Brown style). If possible, you should work some kind of milk-crate, step-ladder or other platform into your costume so that we can rise above the audience. Bring your friends, spouses, and/or valets to the gig. It's fun just to be there. (Bringing small children not advised.) This gig is more fun than I have ever even momentarily entertained the notion of shaking a stick at. As Paul Zinn said several months ago: "I would murder my parents to be at the Castro gig" Paul understands. (You don't want to know how many people OJ was willing to murder to come to this gig, but he will *not* be allowed to play with us, because he is busy Sunday *and* he missed the September rehearsal, and incarceration is not an excuse *even if you are later acquitted*. He is quite welcome to come follow us around, however.) ====== FUTURE ====== The Halloween gig will mark the exciting conclusion of Reverend Al's Screamin' Hypin' Revival Band 1995. THERE WILL BE NO NOVEMBER REHEARSAL. Reverend Al's Screamin' Hypin' Revival Band Special Christmas Edition will probably rehearse and perform once in December, but this is still tentative. The RASH Revival Band '96 will then start rehearsing for the new year in January. We hope to have a ski trip, a Spiders Hockey gig, and other exciting events during the winter. =============== CURRENT LIBRARY =============== Tune: Arranger: Composer, Relevant Previous Arranger: Recording by: Angel Eyes Rosenquist Dennis/Brent Beer Barrel Polka Moffit Brown/Timm Boots Rosenquist Hazlewood Sinatra Caravan Rosenquist Ellington Day Tripper Rosenquist Lennon/McCartney Beatles Elanor Rigby Rosenquist Lennon/McCartney Beatles Evil Ways Rosenquist Henry Santana Hazy Shade of Winter Zinn Simon,Bangles Bangles I Feel the Earth Move Rosenquist King King Istanbul Stanford It Was a Very Good Year Rosenquist Drake Sinatra Make Me Smile Castro Pankow Chicago Nightrain Zinn Guns n' Roses Number One Rosenquist Psycho Killer Collins Talking Heads Pump It Up Collins McManus Radar Love Zinn Golden Earring Samba These Days Rosenquist Star-Spangled Banner Sousa Smith A Taste of Honey Rosenquist Scott/Marlow,Alpert Alpert Tiger Rag Edmunds Valleri Rosenquist Boyce/Hart Monkees Venus(She's Got It) Rosenquist Shocking Blue Viva Las Vegas Rosenquist Presley YMCA McGowan Village People You're No Good Rosenquist Ballard Ronstadt ==== MISC ==== Renee Stokowski is looking to buy an alto sax.

Date: Wed, 25 Oct 1995 19:13:46 -0700 From: Alymphopotent Petrofsky <albatros@netcom.com> To: screamin-announce@netcom.com Subject: Halloween stuff from Erik Hello, here's several hundred words from our esteemed Imam of Music, Erik Rosenquist. I'll be sending another message with even more info tomorrow. Hi folks! Here's a pretty inclusive list of what I think is important to know and ponder about our Halloween gig: 1) TIME! Lets meet (above ground, N side of the street) at the Powell St. Bart station at 7:45-8:00 pm on Tuesday. This is also where the cable car turnaround is. We'll do a small concert there while we collect the band. From there, we'll get on Muni (underground) and take it to church St. Probably we'll have to go in stages, so it's important to be on time at Powell. The fare on Muni will be $1.00. Folks can try to meet us at Church St. if they want around 8:30-8:45, but parking may be impossible. Our final playing will probably be done by 11:00. We won't be doing anything that takes us to or past midnight so no one will miss BART, etc. 2) CONCERTS! The way we're currently planning is to play a mini-concert somewhere, walk somewhere else, play, etc. If we get to a real bad spot, or people start throwing stuff at us, we'll move away but we'll never play while moving. The final "concert" will be the worst - right in the middle of the most crowded intersection. After the last tune - you're ON YOUR OWN! I'll let you know clearly at the gig when we're done. Read the part below about coming & going. 3) TRANSPORTATION - Parking at a Bart station (Daly City, Berkeley, etc.) and taking Bart is a good way to get to Powell St. There's big parking lots South of Market around Powell (though S. of Market, Powell turns into 5th St.). Getting FROM the Castro BACK to Bart could be a several block hike, and doesn't BART close at Midnight? AL????????? [There will be various shapes and sizes of Muni vehicles running 'til midnight -al] 4) COSTUMES - Wear one. It may be chilly there; it may even rain. You may not be able to see the director. You may not be able to see your music!!! You may have a cool costume that prevents your moving your arms and fingers. A good musician plans for these contingencies and greets these challenges with grit and cool determination and mag-lites strapped to their heads. (Don't worry too much if you DON'T have a costume - you can be one one of Al's groveling minions. With a light on their head.). 5) CHOPS - watch out - (actually, there's no "funny" way to say this - what, "I will destroy your lips"?? "your lips are MINE"?? "Save your mouth for me"???) It's going to be a long night. 6) CREEPS and ROADIES - God Bless Roadies! There's going to be probably over 75,000 people there, maybe more. I read somewhere that out of every ten people in America, in general ONE to TWO need psychiatric help. O.K. - not counting ME, that leaves THOUSANDS of subnormal who may well flock to us, like moths to flame. Your friends, designated drivers, family, etc. are all welcome to join our entourage, carry backpacks with my beer, watch your back, etc. I ALSO don't remember any bathrooms there. 7) There's an optional "donation" area at the entrance of the blocked off streets. You can donate if you want (I think this helps clean up), but you can also say "We're an invited group" or "Rev. Al is donating 100$ for the whole band" or "We're packing our trash out", any of which may end up being true. 8) MUSIC - I don't think I'll call anything off this list: Beer, Boots, DayTrip, Eleanor, Evil, Hazy, I feel, Istanbul, MakeMe, Pump, Radar, Taste, Valleri, Venus, Viva, You're no, YMCA. Other than received music requests from previous rehearsals, we're not passing out music unless you contact us, and maybe even not then. [More on music tomorrow -al] 8.5) ACE OF GIGS!!! WHO ARE YOU? BEEN TO ALL 4 GIGS SO FAR? (German sausage fest, Isleton Crawdad, Small Brewer's Fest, A's StarSpangled) - LET ME KNOW SO I CAN REWARD YOU AT HALLOWEEN!!!!! (OR YOU CAN NOMINATE SOMEONE WHO'S BEEN TO 3 GIGS BUT THEY ARE SO COOL AND GOOD FOR THIS BAND!) AL! DIANE! BRAD! RAPH! MARGIE! LAURA! NORM! AND MORE! DOUBLE ACES!!!!!! MATT KAUFMAN!!!!! PAM THOMPSON!!!!! ME!!!!!! COOL AWARDS TO BE HANDED OUT!!!!!!! 9) This is going to be a great gig - it's pretty intense being around that many folks dancing in your face. I look forward to seeing you all. Play louder, but don't do helicopters when you're inebriated. LAST) I have a new job!!!! and new e-mail. I'm officially at "erosenqu@stratmap.com", (408) 970-1865 (w) (415) 323-4635 (h), don't be shy, don't be mean. Or I will get you. ---------------------------------------- Reverend Al's Screamin' Hypin' Revival Band Manager: Rev.

Sun 01-07; Tahoe Jan 13-14 To: screamin-announce <albatros@netcom.com> ====================================== REHEARSAL THIS SUNDAY 12-03 7:13PM BRH ====================================== Featuring "Sleigh Ride": both the Leroy Anderson classic *and* the beverage. ============================================ SF SPIDERS, SATURDAY 12-09 4:29PM COW PALACE ============================================ We'll be the pep band at the San Francisco Spiders game against the Milwaukee Admirals on Saturday December 9 at the Cow Palace. This will be International Hockey at its finest. Schedule: 4:29 Arrive in parking lot, eat defenseless insects. 4:37 Quick rehearsal of Star-Spangled Banner 4:45 Sound/logistics check on the ice for SSB. 5:00 Wander around premises while performing. Maybe score some beer. 5:50? Jose, Can UC? 6:00 Hockey ~8:30 Go Home We'll have 8-10 minutes to play during the period breaks (there's two of them), and possibly other opportunities. It's important to arrive on time because we need to finish the sound check before five. TICKETS: We'll get sixty. Probably enough for several roadies and friends. Extras would be 5 or 10 dollars (I don't know which). PARKING: We've been promised 20 parking spaces. I'm not sure yet exactly how we'll work this. Extra cars are $7. Matt Kaufman has volunteered to drive a bus from somewhere around Berkeley (maybe the Marina). This would cost about $25, i.e. $1-2/head if we got a dozen or two takers. This sounds fun to me. We'll talk about it Sunday. UNIFORM: We'll wear spider-related outfits. Red and Black are the colors. Ideas: webs, hairy legs (don't shave 'em this week), poisonous fangs, 8 limbs, thousands of children, etc. More Spiders info is at http://fiction.plaidworks.com/sfspiders. ====================================== REHEARSAL SUNDAY 1996-01-07 7:13PM BRH ====================================== Featuring "Bloody Syncopated Mary": both the Leroy Anderson classic *and* the beverage. ========================================= TAHOE SATURDAY AND SUNDAY 01-13 AND 01-14 ========================================= We've booked Homewood and we're working on getting another North Tahoe resort. Saturday night you will stay at the LUXORIOUS WOODVISTA LODGE, where just fifty yards away you'll find a FULLY STOCKED SAFEWAY! And you'll want to be sure to buy lots of yummy ingredients, Mrs. Crabanitz, because when you return to your room, you'll find a FULL-FEATURED KITCHENETTE waiting for you to PREPARE YOUR FEAST! But wait! You won't want to go to sleep in gastronomical bliss just yet, because you still won't have experienced the JACU 5000 JACUZZI UNDER THE STARS (TM)!! Alternately, you can blow all that off and go get a $5 buffet in Reno. Either way, there'll be plenty of good eatin', good times, camaraderie, etc.. And I'll be giving free knitting lessons to boot. Accomodations will run about $15/half-bed. Skiing will be free. More info on Sunday. ---------------------------------------- Reverend Al's Screamin' Hypin' Revival Band Manager: Rev.

Date: Fri, 8 Dec 1995 12:46:12 -0800 From: Alcove Petrofsky <albatros@netcom.com> To: screamin-announce <albatros@netcom.com> Subject: Spiders Tomorrow 4:29PM, all the poop ====================================== SCHEDULE: (FOR SATUDAY PM, 1995-12-09) ====================================== OPTIONAL PRE-GIG RESTAURANT/BUS FUN: 3:00-3:15 Arrive at Spenger's, go to bar. Order an Arachnid Orgasm. 3:28 Party bus leaves Spenger's, Cow Palace-bound. GIG PROPER: 4:00-4:29 Arrive at Cow Palace parking lot, eat defenseless insects. 4:37-4:39 Quick rehearsal of Star-Spangled Banner 4:45-5:00 SSB sound/logistics check in the Palace. 5:00-5:45 Wander around premises while performing. Maybe score some beer. 5:45 Meet our contact, go to SSB performance spot next to flag. 5:56 Jose, can you? Si. 6:00 Game starts, go to our seats. ~6:45 End of first period: Go play some songs on the ice. Play Chicken with the Zamboni. 8:30-9:00 Game ends. Bus goes back to Spenger's. (We won't play after the first period break, so you can leave after that if you'd like. But what could be better than Spiders hockey?) ================================================================================ IMPORTANT: BE ON TIME SO THAT THE NATIONAL ANTHEM SOUNDCHECK AT 4:45 SOUNDS GOOD ================================================================================ Otherwise, our Spider hosts will get nervous. And you wouldn't like them when they're nervous. ======= PARKING ======= The first 20 cars to mention Al Petrofsky and the Screamin' Hypin' Revival Band at the lane 2 gate will be let in free of charge. After that, it's $7. ======= FASHION ======= Wear the spiders colors: Red and Black. Accessorize with webbing, leftover Halloween spider jewelry, poisonous fangs, and cetera. The opponents are the Milwaukee Admirals. Do NOT wear your Admiral regalia. ======================== DIRECTIONS TO COW PALACE ======================== From 101, at the Southern end of San Francisco, follow the signs that say "Cow Palace". Specifically, from the south take the "Brisbane/Cow Palace" exit, or from the north take the "Cow Palace/3rd Street" exit. Both will put you on Bayshore Blvd, which you will follow for about a mile, then you will turn onto Geneva Ave, just like the sign that says "Cow Palace" tells you to. Then you will go several blocks and notice the huge building on your left with huge letters reading "C-O-W P-A-L-A-C-E". That is the Cow Palace. Drive past the building, and turn left into the huge parking lot. THE ONLY TRICKY PART: GET IN LANE TWO. I'm afraid I don't know enough to elaborate here, but if the attendant has not heard of the band, or if anything else in your life suddenly goes horribly wrong, it is probably because you failed to GET IN LANE TWO. Should this happen, go back, and GET IN LANE TWO immediately. ======================= DIRECTIONS TO SPENGER'S ======================= In Berkeley, take the University Ave exit from 80/580 and head East (away from the Bay, toward the campus). Make a U-turn at the first light, 6th St, and then stay in the right lane and drive straight toward the big Spengers sign. Park. Enter Restaurant. Commence fun. See you tomorrow! ---------------------------------------- Reverend Al's Screamin' Hypin' Revival Band Manager: Rev.

Date: Sat, 23 Dec 1995 15:17:48 -0800 From: Aliments Petrofsky <albatros@netcom.com> To: "Reverend Al's Screamin' Hypin' Revival Band" <bcc@nowhere> Subject: Seasonal Salutations; Spiders recap; rehearsal Jan 7; TAHOE JAN 13-14 (In nonpartisan chronological order:) Happy Hanukah! Splendid Solstice! Merry Christmas! and a Radical Ramadan to all! [There was a witty comment here about a mistletoe belt buckle, but it has been removed in the interest of taste.] Are you ready to ski? Or snowboard? Or hang out knitting in the lodge? Then I've got lots of information pertinent to YOU! But first, I'll make you sift through the usual crap... ============= SPIDERS RECAP ============= First, Matt's bus is transportation nirvana. We'll probably have this bus at most or all future gigs, so you can experience it yourself. As for the Spiders, they are definitely not quality hockey nirvana. They are, rather, something akin to a thousand cheesy promotions balanced on the head of a puck. It is not often that we are the classiest thing at a gig. This is starting to sound too negative-- let me assure you that a good time was had by all, and our rendition of the National Anthem truly rocked the house. I talked to Ms. Jarvis, goddess of promotions, about doing another game this year, possibly February 10. We'll talk about it at rehearsal. (By the way, I saw her scheduler for games, and it had some truly strange things written in it, such as "contestants are dipped in maple syrup and roll around in money on the ice". It's a sick society we live in.) Thanks to all who showed (we had a 40-45 person band), and apologies to those on the bus who put up with a detour to Nob Hill to drop off Erik and Laura. Erik had thought the hotel was at Union Square. We will work to pervent such cluelessness in the future. ========================== REHEARSAL SUNDAY JANUARY 7 ========================== With all the usual trimmings. ====================================================================== TAHOE SKIING/SNOWBOARDING/HOT-TUBBING GIG/FUN-O-RAMA SAT-SUN JAN 13-14 ====================================================================== It's on. The skinny: Homewood Saturday, Woodvista Lodge Saturday night, Sugar Bowl Sunday, lift tickets free, optional lodging $15, optional busing $20, sign up soon, go to rehearsal. The fat: THE RESORTS: Homewood, Sugar Bowl. They're ski resorts. (I'm writing this paragraph last, and I've run out of hype.) Exact performance times are TBA. There will probably be one morning and one noonish performance at each, the noonish ones including skiing performances. We'll go over the formations at the rehearsal. (Yes, I'm serious. It'll work. Trust me.) LODGING: Woodvista Lodge, Tahoe Vista, on 28, 1/4 mile west of 267. Features: hot tub, kitchenettes, proximity to Safeway and a few restaurants, and a friendly proprieter who will help you start your car. We'll have two or three large rooms with the cooking facilities, and several standard rooms with two double beds. We'll work out room assignments at the rehearsal. If you have special needs or desires, let me know before rehearsal, and maybe you can be accommodated. BUS: Matt doesn't trust his old bus in the snow, but he can get us a newer one for $500. Let me divide that for you: if we can get 25 to 35 people on the bus, that would be $15 to $20 a head (actually, $20 to $15 to be respective). The bus schedule will be something like: Friday 7:00PM Leave from a free parking lot in the East Bay. Friday Night Drop people off in Davis, to spend the night on the floors of our gracious Davis friends. Saturday Early AM Leave from a free parking lot in the Davis area. Sunday Dusk Leave slopes when lifts close. Sunday Night Drop some people off at Davis lot. Later Sunday Night Drop rest of people off at East Bay lot. (The sleeping in Davis concept is also applicable to folks in cars, of course.) I highly recommend the bus. It will be fun, safe, and easy. As many of you know, Matt "Bus" Kaufman is *the* world's best bus driver: experienced, skilled (navigates ice, SF hills, and even parallel parking with ease), Cal-educated, committed to safety and excellence, etc.. Why deal with the ice, chains, and traffic, when Matt's dedicated his life so that you can be reclining in the lap of luxury? I'll let you know when the theme and menu have been decided. FAST ACTION: The earlier you tell me that you're coming and whether you need lodging, the better. Doubly so for busing. SUNDAY JANUARY 7 IS THE LAST DAY TO SIGN UP FOR THE GIGS, THE LAST DAY TO SIGN UP AND PAY FOR THE LODGINGS, AND THE LAST DAY TO SIGN UP AND PAY FOR THE BUS. (You may NOT pay in three easy installments of just $9.95. You may NOT lodge now and make no payments until April. And you most certainly may NOT have already won.) If you won't be at rehearsal, mail a check payable to "Rev. Al Petrofsky" (see end of email for address). Or I suppose if you fax me an ounce of flesh, I'll accept that as surety. (But I'll only accept the first one-- I don't want my house flooded with faxed flesh.) WHO SHOULD GO: As usual, everyone who can blow or percuss is encouraged to come to this rehearsal and gig. So bring your blowing/percussing friends, relatives, etc.. People who can't make the rehearsal, but were there in December (or can name all the ingredients of a Sleigh Ride) are also highly encouraged to come to the gig. Other folks who want to go should take the matter up with the SCC (Special Circumstances Committee) (me) (and don't expect me to say "Well, isn't that special" to every request). Feel free to bring along your spouses, spouse-equivalents, mistresses/misters, and totally unspouse-like acquaintances, and sign them up for the bus and/or lodgings. If they want to ski free, too, well... there will be very few extra tickets, available only to friends of those who are at or around the Ace of Gigs award level (approximately 300-500 gig miles). None of this should be taken to discourage people who can't make the gigs from coming to the rehearsals. If "One Sunday night a month, when I'm not busy" is all the commitment you can muster-- hey, that's cool. Glad to have you there. Hell, I even consider the "Skim every other email, if I'm really bored" crowd to be a vital part of the band, and I know that many of them are future members of the "Come to rehearsal once a year when the refrigerator is totally empty and I could use a free drink" club. ---------------------------------------- Reverend Al's Screamin' Hypin' Revival Band Manager: Rev.
