October 19, 1879 – Thomas Edison demonstrates his invention of electric light laying the groundwork to eventually amplify a guitar, bass and various other components critical to performing the aforementioned right to rock.

Do you see a pattern here? I mean there are more if you want me to keep going. But I'll just get to the meat and potatoes of things here and cordially invite you, your family and everyone you went to high school with to attend the "Battle for Planetfest Main Stage" event on Sunday night. It is a perfect time slot to play for Planet Radio 107.3 and with any luck – get to play the main stage at Planetfest.  A nice warm and cozy crowd would help our cause for sure. And again – those attending this show will receive their choice of a free Blistur CD or T-Shirt for attending. Whether we attain the main stage or not, we'll be playing at Planetfest 9 with the likes of Hinder, Shinedown, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Puddle of Mudd and Rehab this year – and we are very happy to have scored 95.44 out of a possible 100 points, which catapulted us to the 2 position out of 75 bands that competed. Now we play Freebird and try to jump to 1!

I'd like to rent a hall and have a good old fashioned keg party for all of you afterward. Maybe after Planetfest on November 8^th. But I don't even have time to think about such a thing right this minute. However – if you have a hall and a keg, well let me know.

*** TICKET INFO ***

Tickets for this show will be available at the door (no online pre-sale) on the night of the show. The capacity here is 700 and we'd like to fill it with all of you (and your family + everyone you went to high school with). If we run out of the free merchandise, we'll have to do a raincheck. Hit us up either well before – or just after we perform and we'll surrender the booty!

Freebird Live is located at 200 North 1^st Street in Jacksonville Beach right at the ocean. Atlantic Ocean that is. It's a great place to make some noise and owned by Judy Van Zandt of Lynyrd Skynyrd fame.

For once – if people ask us if we can play Freebird, we can respond with an emphatic "Yes!" But only this Sunday.

*** LAST MINUTE UPDATE ***

We'll be doing a biker thing this Thursday also at "The Rooster", which is a popular stop for those billions of bikers on their way to Daytona for "Biketoberfest". The Rooster closed a while back and has now re-opened under new management. For those in the North Florida area – the Rooster is located on US1 in Bayard, south of Jacksonville. Click the link there for more info. Most of you proabaly know where it is already. I believe the start time is 6 or 7pm.

*** THAT'LL DO IT ***

I reckon that's all I got to say about all that right now. We shall see you, your family, your high school, etc. this Sunday for the big event. We are looking forward to it for sure. Meanwhile – if you would like to join us before then at the Rooster or at the Roadhouse this weekend – please do so. You are welcome anytime of course.

Love you!

Blistur. Have a HAPPY period.
