I really think the show should be moved to a Friday night or Saturday date, so that as many people as can attend will be able to. Sunday is by far the most difficult day for most people to go to a show. Especially one that will run late into the night.

A venue change or date is in order here i think. i for one will not be able to attend now as probably many others will not either. All respect to those who can. i'm sure it will be a great event!

by **queenp** » Fri Sep 28, 2007 4:34 pm

I WAITED FOR A VENUE AS LONG AS I COULD
I WILL TIME OUT THE EVENING SO PEOPLE CAN SEE LOTS OF GREAT BANDS.
I AM SO SORRY!!! FOR THE SUNDAY - BUT WE ALL FELT THAT THE EL REY, THE LINE UP AND THE CAUSE WOULD OVERIDE THE SUNDAY ISSUE.

IT WILL START EARLY AND YOU CAN SEE SOME GREAT BANDS.

PLEASE COME FROM OUT OF TOWN
CONSIDER THE CONTRIBUTION THAT YOU ALL WILL MAKE.

WE APPRECIATE THE INPUT.

AND HAVE TRIED TO ACCOMADATE EVERYONE - IT IS FOR US AS WELL TO BE TOGETHER AND SHARE OUR LOVE FOR DAVID.

I UNDERTSAND AND WILL HELP IN ANYWAY I CAN.

I KNOW I WILL SEE YOU ALL THERE - I HAVE FAITH IN THIS SPECIAL NIGHT!

MUCH RESPECT

Hey, if you can't make it, no worries. Just make sure you paypal Dave's memorial fund. This is such an unfortunate situation and I'm sure that any little bit (even $5) will help immensely in this time of tragedy and sorrow for the Fuentes family.

Yea, I know it will be great and many people will be there. I am soo bummed i personally can't go. I love hepcat soo much and i want to attend this probably more than any show i can remember.

I was thinking that the all star band should play "live on" or maybe even if alex and greg got up there and sung the new one "sing my song" that would fitting.

I think we all should put hepcat on heavy rotation and keep it that way. I for one never get tired of hearing their records, so many classics!

Make this your profile pic.
Add a Hepcat song to your profile so the music can be heard.
Pass this on everyone you know.
Be there to celebrate the life and music of David Fuentes and Hepcat

Lawless,

I don't see the Aggrolites listed on that flyer (although I do see "members of the Aggrolites" as part of the David Fuentes Tribute band)... are they not playing this event?

Or, perhaps they are the "Secret Special Suprise Band"?

Either way, I'll be at this show without any question!

Thanks again to everyone who worked so hard to make this event happen!

Cheers,

Shane

One more question:

Will a certain number of VIP tickets be available ONLY at the door?

I'd really rather not get them through Ticketmaster if I can help it (I despise TM's outrageous and bogus service/convenience/handling charges)... I'd rather give the extra money that Ticketmaster would charge directly to Dave's family.

Also, I notice that the show is not showing up at Ticketmaster yet.

Cheers,

Shane

What does the VIP ticket mean?

i'll be coming from oakland and never been to this venue, how big is it?

Thanks

by **TheACBubbaMaster** » Thu Oct 04, 2007 12:03 pm

Roughly 750

I think the VIP tickets will be for the seating areas that run down the venue on either side of the stage (dance floor in between). There is also an upstairs area (balcony) that has some seats (up above the portion of the diagram that says "Full Bar"). I tried to find a good picture of the venue, but this drawing was the best I could find:

Cheers,

Shane

cool, thanks for that info. seems like the venue might be similar to the Great american music hall in SF.

It is a bit like GAMH, but I think it's slightly bigger. I didn't notice the upstairs when I was there last year, but it didn't seem like there was anything special about the seats along the side. I mean, there was no special access to it. Could have just been that evening, though, for all I know.

by **queenp** » Thu Oct 04, 2007 11:45 pm

ALL I CAN SAY - IS YES - SECRET SURPRISE BAND - YOU ARE CORRECT!!!
AND YES THEY ARE PLAYING IN THE TRIBUTE.

THE TICKETS SHOULD BE ON SALE
NOW!!!!

I WILL FIND OUT WHATS UP?

VIP MAKES IT SO YOU CAN BE COMFORTABLE ON THE SIDE WHEN THE DANCE FLOOR IS PACKED TOO.
AND IT IS NICE TO HAVE THAT ACCESS. AND THE $$$ GOES TO FAMILY - THANK YOU.

THE UPSTAIRS WILL BE FOR HEPCAT AND FUENTES FAMILY.

I WOULD NOT WAIT TIL DAY OF SHOW - IT WILL SELL OUT.
I WILL FIND OUT IF YOU CAN GET VIP AT DOOR.

THANKS SOOOOO MUCH!!!

YOU WILL SEE ALL THE BANDS YOU THOUGHT WOULD PLAY
AND EVEN MORE!!!!!
SSSHHHHH!!!! SECRET!!!

MUCH LOVE
PERSEPHONE

TICKETS ARE NOW ON SALE!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!

IT WILL BE A NIGHT TO REMEMBER FOR THE REST OF OUR LIVES.

THANK YOU FOR ALL THE SUPPORT.

HEPCAT IS BLOWN AWAY BY ALL THE LOVE EVERYONE HAS BEEN SHARING! I KNOW THEY WANT TO THANK ALL OF YOU AS WELL.

IT HAS BEEN HARD FOR THEM OFCOURSE. THE LOVE HELPS EASE THE PAIN AS MUCH AS IT CAN.

RESPECT AND LOVE
