There will be a plethora of CT area model airplane flying fellows and folks in attendance for sure! Come meet some of the people I do this crazy hobby with.

Sunday, Dec 9 in Piermont, NY, The Turning Point Cafe  - I celebrate my 2000 show with The Roots Agency as my booking agent. That's pretty spectacularly loyal on both of our parts in a world that is not. Come for the show and the dinner buffet. Call soon as there are already 25 seats spoken for from loyal music industry folks that are pre-reserved.

2)  Pay between $500 - $999, depending on party size, your means, what you feel like paying,
3)  pay with 2 checks,
4)  60% to me,
5)  40% to a charity of your choice - matching giving from your work/friends accepted - I'll post who we give to on the site, so there can be more gift matching...
6)  invite your friends,
7)  feed them, (and me...)
8)  yay....

Addendum.
a) Travel more than a drive? - you pay, me fly.
b) Circumference? Get a hold of me, we'll talk.
c) I have a teeny weeny sound system - usually don't need one. Let me know about the space we'll be in and we'll talk.
d) Valentine's Day - same price.
e) New Years rates $800 - 1400.

Nice chance for us to have a shindig, hear my new tunes, and do something good for folks in need.

See you all somewhere,
peace...vance
