It's the best, most informative listing of shows to see all around the bay. I recently moved to Indianapolis (aka Indiana Apolis, Flatsville Apolis, insert any other aka here to describe that sad, sad place) and back to SF even more recently, and the Biss List kept me informed of all the things I was missing and where I knew a bunch of my friends would be. Everything on the list is somewhere I want to be. The music listings are exactly what I'm looking for in regards to genre and have the best venues. Now that I am home again and just getting back in to the scene I know that Biss will lead me to exactly what I want in entertainment, the most exhilerating shows across the bay. Thank you for that! It's nice to feel like you are still apart of the growing music scene eventhough I have been absent for too long.

Happy Happy Merry Merry!!
Hello wonderful BISS folks. Hope Santa was good to each and every one of you.
No lumps of coal for this group. You guys are the best and deserve nothing but that.
So the new year brings new shows and of course you've got tickets to the best of them.
So I was interested in the tickets you had for the Bill Graham Birthday Bash 1-7-12 at the Fillmore.
Why do I subscribe?
Because Pammy G and her crew know how to throw down a good time any place at any time!!
Dave P
So here's a very good friend that loves the local music scene as much as any of us. He'd love to be kept in the "know"
And why should I win?
Well the above mentioned Dave has been real helpful with me recently with my little fractured elbow incident. He took me to the ER on that 1st night when it happened. He's also helped me to and from the hospital a few times.He's a great guy and a good friend.
Anyway I'd love to take him to the Fillmore just to say thanks. I know he'd really like this show and I know I will too.
As always keep up the good work and I'll keep spreading the good word!!!
~~Have A Safe And Very Happy New Year~~

hello,
I would love to win tickets to the Maceo Parker new years eve show at Yoshis in san francisco
I always look at your website for upcoming shows it is way better than having to subscribe to different radio, tv and ticket news letters to find upcoming shows.
I love Maceo Parker dating back to his days working with James Brown, (would not sound the same without Maceo), I have not been out on new years in years, and want to go, (will be alone on christmas and want to go out and celebrate a new years eve in style.

You are receiving this email because I am subscribed to the coolest, most reliable music entertainment newsletter in the bay area. The BISS LIST is my number one website to go running to when I want to boogie my ass off all week. Its perfect in so many ways but mostly because it never lists shitty Emo bands, death metal, or crappy pop that I could care less about. BISS lists everything great and I know when BISS is involved awesome people will be at a show to make my happy ass even happier. Plus, I'm always super stoked when the sparkly, wonderful, women of BISS are shakin' it next to me with big smiles. And when I can't choose between shows, BISS suggests how to go about my night...and I appreciate those decisions being made for me when I am indecisive.
BISS has helped my knowledge and love for music grow immensely and I am forever grateful for that. I have even been turned on to new live music due to this wonderful list. Seriously, who needs jambase or the guardian when you have the BISS list? My life in the Bay rocks and it keeps getting more rad and I have BISS to thank for part of that. The BISS list FuCkiNg ROCKS and I love it!!!!!

I tell everyone I know to subscribe to BISS LIST...I read it
religiously almost 3 times a week..
I read it because Pam and crew have the same taste in music that I have.
Sure wish I could go out more often, but my lack of a full time job

Dear BISS
I humbly request (beg you) for tix to see Marco on Sunday 12/4.
I love him to bits. His music moves me like no other has in a very long time.
Truly I swoon;) But I also appreciate the depth of his musical mastery. His fingers flow across the keys and make magic.
It is my birthday on 12/12. Maybe this can be an early present?
I so appreciate your list, and you have been very generous in the past.
This is why I love you so much.
You are music lovers and know how to get us out and about.
Thanks for all you do,
In friendship,

To whom it may concern,
I am writing to enter to win tickets to either 12/1/11 or 12/3/11 for the New Orleans Suspects. First I will tell you why I subscribe to the Biss List. I subscribe because your list is the easiest one stop list for viewing all of my musical choices for the bay area. Your list is concise yet tells subscribers all relevant information concerning each musical event. I also like how you have the chance of winning tickets to some of the best music in the bay area not just in San Francisco. Second I will tell you why I should win tickets. I have been a frequent visitor of New Orleans for nearly 20 years. I have done 14 out of the last 15 Jazzfests and truly appreciate New Orleans music. I have already purchased tickets for Friday 12/2/11 but would like to attend additional shows. Due to budgetary concerns it will be difficult for me to make more than one show without winning tickets. I appreciate the chance at winning and hope you have a wonderful day.
Thanks,
Sean
