Greetings, Friends of The Flame,
Some of you acquired pseudonyms back in the 80s. You should remember 'Jet Boy' and 'Jet Girl' (Kelly gave them those monikers). Jet Girl has enlisted the help of her...Jet Son to develop a FaceBook page. Though we can't cater to everybody on every format, you can now interact with other persons planning to attend FLAMESTOCK 2010 if you're on FaceBook by going to : Friends/Find Friends/ (typing into search box:) Flamestock 1980, then on the left margin will be a link to Join Groups. Request entrance and once accepted you'll be able to interact on a daily basis with other attendees of this year's reunion. Thanks Jayme and Maxwell!
Thanks to some research by Fitz (yep...Mike is In The House, y'all!), we've found that The Flame is now Jimmy B's Parrot Club. We're awaiting feedback on whether this venue will serve our purposes before approaching them with our proposal. He was also able to ascertain the Mission Coffeehouse and local gay club aren't operational any longer. If anybody has ideas for another club ... we're open for offers. The group that followed the NuMuzik gang occasionally partied in a shelter at a local park, but the shut-down time will likely be relatively early. Whatever the eventual venue, we will bring the music and the party to the locale.
We're continuing the search for more of the old crowd. If you have access to even one other person, be sure you check in with him/her and let them know we'd like to hear from everybody. We do need some sort of a body-count to know what to plan for.
Some people have noted that there are limitations to a blog. If you haven't been on one before, you can post as many WRITTEN posts (replys) as you want. It doesn't allow you to post pictures or links like (e.g.:) My Space does. However, since most people can bookmark this and check in periodically; plans are to retain this format for those who don't have time to play back YouTube links and just want to access the news. If you have other questions, please shoot an email to swingbilly@hotmail.com and I'll try to answer your question. Please put something identifying in the subject line or you'll go to Junk Mail and it will be discarded.

Safety Dance: Men Without Hats
This may not require a whole new posting: We are trying to settle on a date that would be most functional to all persons. So far, we've ruled out major holiday weekends, believe this should be held in warm weather and lean toward it occuring outside of the standard (primary)school's Fall-Winter semesters. The latest suggestion is the weekend of 7 August. Realizing that it will not be possible to accommodate everybody's diverse schedules, we'd really like you to weigh in on this subject. Obviously, we'd love to see as many faces from the old days as possible. Please reply here or through the Flamestock 1980 FaceBook page.
