first, i would like to thank anyone helping promote this show. its free, and we're paying the bands through donations.

second, the hottness have had a conflict with being added to the rest of the banner / dr.acula tour, and will not be playing next friday at manifest, nor the next day in lancaster sc. they would like everyone to know they're sorry for this change, and will be rescheduling, which means september 7th, the hottness may be playing at manifest, i need to find a band or 2 that'll play and help with donations and what not, but that seems to be what is happening. please don't let that affect you're attending of august 1st, and please let everyone you know that wanted to see the hottness next friday, to please make a note to look for sept 7th as the hottness at manifest as a makeup for this (its a sunday, and will probably be earlier than august 1st's show).

with that said, there may or may not be another band added to the august 1st show. i'm waiting on a response from someone, and that'll pretty much be the band i add unless i get some bumrush of messages over night since i don't plan on putting anymore time into this show pass this weekend.

third, dbdd wants to continue having shows at manifest, so please show your support and come to these shows, put flyers on your profile, post bulletins about them, etc. all shows will be based on donations, so that limits the bands we can ask to even play, but i'm gonna continue getting bands you wouldn't expect for free shows, and still have some ideas for up coming shows. it's very important that these shows have nice turn outs and enough donations to help if not completely pay band guarantees so that the money isn't coming out of our pocket.

with that said, i hope to see everyone next friday for A Stained Glass Romance and Land Of Savage (formally Think Back). we'll be taking donations as usual to help these bands with gas, they both have shows the next day around an hour from charlotte and every dollar counts with insane gas prices. thanks for reading.


btw, manifest is located at
6239 South Blvd, Charlotte, NC 28217
the intersection of south blvd and archdale, next to the post office.
