Now that a week has passed and we've had some time to recover, I'd just
like to take a moment and thank everybody who helped to make Pop
Mayhem a success. First off, I would like to thank all the bands that played,
especially those that came from far away. I would like to extend a special
thanks to Boyracer and The Cannanes, who signed up from almost the
very beginning, without really knowing most of us involved. It takes a lot of
trust to trudge half-way across the US, or the world, to play a show
arranged by some people you don't really know. Thanks to all the bands
and people who were willing to share equipment with the travelling bands.
Thanks to Jason Shuster for learning 22 Boyracer songs and playing them
really well.
I'd like to also thank The Kickstand and Common Grounds for having us,
but I would like to especially thank Vicky for opening up for us every
morning at The Kickstand, Denise for being so easy to work with in setting
up the event, and Nigel for being so flexible.
It took a lot of work organizing and putting together this event, and we
(Josh, Pablo, Dan, and Joe) couldn't have done it without some behind the
scenes help from Ciera, Tanya, Andrew, Laura, Travis, Carly, Elizabeth,
and Heather. Ciera is responsible for the beautiful posters, 7" covers, and
t-shirt design. Thanks Ciera.
Finally, I'd like to thank everybody that came out, and hopefully, had fun.
I'm sorry if I forgot anyone.
Love,
Joe
P.S. If anybody has some pictures, or videos of the event they would like
to share, please send them to:
