As promised we are piling on the coolness for our August 2 event.

I just got off the phone with the School Of Rock. This is what I had up my sleeve and had been waiting the last few weeks to announce, but couldn't until all the details were set! This is why we are meeting August 2 and not one of the other nights. These kids are SERIOUS musicians and are ready to blow us away with a show full of Purple Rain covers and genuine rock-n-roll fierceness. We have arranged a pre-movie concert by them -- so take off work early and get your butts over to downtown Silver Spring for this rare opportunity!

Here is the NEW SCHEDULE for August 2:

4:00-6:00 pm - Concert and Dinner/Happy Hour at Austin Grill
6:00-7:00 pm - Dessert at the AFI Cafe with Prince tunes including the new "Planet Earth" album
7:00-9:00 pm - Purple Rain Movie Showing & Prize Raffle
9:00 pm - Afterparty?

DETAILS:

Concert: Join us at 4:00pm at the Austin Grill on Ellsworth around the corner from the AFI. We have a big table reserved for our group but you MUST RSVP to Laserblast@aol.com by 8/1 to get a seat. The place is FULLY BOOKED and this show is going to be crazy crowded.
Learn all about School of Rock at www.schoolofrock.com. You may have seen the fiction movie starring Jack Black, but did you see the even better documentary? These kids can PLAY and are no joke. In addition to Purple Rain selections, they will grind out some Spinal Tap movie soundtrack choices also. There is a RUMOR that Morris Day will be there -- again a RUMOR.

Dessert: Join is at 6:00 pm at the AFI Cafe for dessert. serving up BabyI'mAStarBrownies and LemonCrushCupcakes home-made by our own Natalie Rozzell.

Movie: Purple Rain is showing at the AFI in downtown Silver Spring, MD - just two blocks up from the metro station and serviced by Marc, Metro buses, Rideon buses, commuter buses, etc.

Tell the folks at AFI to crank up the volume on Thursday. They had it too low tonight.
