BISS 02.16.07: Thank you all for making the Wally Ingram Benefit such a success!!!

Wow!!! I can’t thank you all enough for showing up last weekend and helping us to sell out two WONDERFUL nights at the Independent to benefit our dear friend Wally Ingram!! The show was absolutely amazing and the vibe and the love were all indescribable!!! Now I must say that I was surprised to find that so many of you must have doubted me when I sent out messages every week prior to the shows warning about the possibility of selling out!! Next time you will know when I say “this show will sell out” that it really might sell completely out! Thankfully, it seemed that all of you found a ticket one way or another before the end of the shows and made it in!!!! We are still selling posters for donations if you or any of your friends would like to get one. Please email me back in interested.

Tonight we have Michael Franti and Spearhead (w/ Keller Williams) at the Warfield. After that meet me at Andrew Jaeger’s Condor Room for Groovebone and then we’ll all go over to the Boom Boom Room for The Budos Band. (Look for ticket give-aways below!) Then tomorrow you also have Michael Franti and Spearhead at the Warfield. Again meet me at the Condor Room after that for Manicato followed by The Budos Band over at the Boom Boom Room!

BISS FEATURED SHOWS!!!! ******DO NOT MISS THESE SHOWS – Get tickets before they sell out!!!!!!!!!!!******

Every featured show has been a sell out show!!! Don’t ask why just buy your tickets! But if you need to ask why – the answer is just BISS!

Feb 24th – El's Funky 40th - Mardi Gras Bash @ The Independent 9:30PM Prompt – If you haven’t gotten your tickets – call all your friends and see who has extras because it is sold out!! In fact, for those of you with an extra, let me know, because I have already received a number of emails for people looking!! Thanks!

The New Orleans Bingo! Show, America's best-loved Cabaret Game Show returns to San Francisco for a two-night stand. Bingo! will be joined by audio-visual artist DJ/VJ Stefan G.

Mar 2 & 3 at 12 Galaxies 2565 Mission St San Francisco, CA

http://www.12galaxies.com
DJ/VJ Stefan G (9:00-10:30 & 12:30-4am)
The New Orleans Bingo! Show(10:30-12:30)
Presented by The High Sierra Foundation
Show 9:00pm-4:00am
Tix $15 $10 after 12:30am

Led by Clint Maedgen, the spiky-haired troubadour of Lower Decatur Street, The New Orleans Bingo! Show gleefully entertains audiences with its own unique brand of Mardi Gras-styled carnival revelry. Deftly juxtaposing the fiasco-based atmosphere of a geriatric board game gone horribly wrong, multi-media vaudevillian antics, and some of the most touching songs ever written about life in this anachronistic American city, this one of a kind musical experience may be the closest the world will ever come to truly knowing what it means to be from New Orleans.
( http://www.sonicbids.com/theneworleansbingoshow
or http://www.myspace.com/thebingoshow )

Bingo! will be joined both nights by audio-visual artist Stefan G. Look for pre-show and post show clowning. Look for Bingo! films made by Ronnie numbers to appear in Stefan's show. Look for pictures taken by Clint Maedgen to appear in Stefan G's show and get ready for some late night jamming w/ members of the Bingo! show and Stefan G.

DJ/VJ Stefan G is a one-man audio-visual tour de force. From his early days as a DJ in London at Dingwall's, doing jams w/ the likes of Charlie Watts and Jack Bruce, to his pioneering VJ work in Danceteria and other NYC clubs, to his current work with many of today's hottest dance parties. He is a record producer and a film-maker. Stefan G has an incredible library of audio and visual delights. He has worked with everyone from Jerry Garcia to Paul Oakenfold. Stefan is always in the center of the action. He is going to be presenting some brand new music and visuals, as well as digging deep into the stacks for this incredible event. Stefan G will get the party started and keep it going till 4am.

Partial proceeds from these shows will go to benefit victims of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The High Sierra Foundation was established in 2003 to raise awareness and funds for worthwhile organizations related to music, art, education and social justice. Last year the High Sierra Foundation established a special fund to give direct aid to those affected by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, and thanks to support from the High Sierra community we've been able to donate much-needed funds to the New Orleans music community. Direct aid grants were given to more than a dozen recipients. The High Sierra Foundation is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3). All donations are tax deductible.
