Mortification in California???

OK, so it's no big secret that we are working diligently to make a HUGE concert announcement and festival for Southern California in late August!

Night one's line up is secure, night 2 is in the works and we are talking with several headliners now! Our first two headliners did not pan out due to toher obligations they had this summer, which was a bummer. But we need to move on and get this show on the road!

I would LOVE to be able to have a one off Mortification show in LA but it is financially not posible, as the costs to bring Steve over are going to be about $7000.

And you know if I am one thing with everyone it's straight up! This show will not make a fraction of that amount to bring him out here!

Steve is willing and would love to come and make the trip! But we would have to have a grass roots effort Starting ASAP to try and take up collections to get him out here??

1. Is there enough interest to get him out?

2. Would I be wasting a lot of time and effort to try and drum up a special 'donation' account for
all of us to get him out here and for everyone in California to get a LIVE Mortification show????

I just want to be very open and up front and get some quick opinions as to what others think? Thoughts?

It would be cool to see 'em. But 7k is a lot however.

Will Ultimatum be there?? Deliverance?? Bloodgood? Stricken

This is gonna be cool!

Bill, I'll be brutally honest, but this isn't going to happen. With the economy the way it is, and lack of support for Morty in the US, it is next to impossible, unless the grassroots effort really takes off or some generous donor is willing to pay out a large chunk. Good luck.

I would love to see Mortification in Cali but what happens to the money if it doesn't hit the mark?

bill,you know fiancally i am strapped here as i would be trying like heck to save my own to come out..but,pls anything i mean anything i can do to help make this happen,pls dont hesistate to ask!!

what if you tack on an "amount" to the ticket price? that would guarntee the fan sees mort b/c the ticket assured that? idk..i just know how excited i would be!

hey bill,really wanna see this happen..what if we come up with a tshirt comemorating this history making 25th for all the music involved?? or some other idea to off set the expense bringing steve here! how many of us wanna see this show? how many of us want to be a part of history? if it werent for steve rowe and mortification many of these bands around today wouldnt have had their start! pls keep this prayer and think of different ways or ideas;that bill and i can try to see this happen.thanks everyone

I can sell some blood and semen. Not mixed, naturally. But I'm willing to do my part.

Tall order. Why expect fans that probably can't even be at the show to absorb this bill? I'd like to see who else is on the bill. I might come out, but the only band I know for sure is ultimatum and I can see them in new mexico whenver I want.

I know some of the bands that are confirmed. It will be a good show for sure. I can't really reveal anything until Roxx gives the go-ahead.

However, I too think that $7000 in travel expenses along is a bit much for a one off gig.

Maybe they could bring the price down if Steve and the guys borrow other people's gear... Then they would just need the plane tickets and a motel or a fan could let them crash at their house free of charge. There should be ways to bring down the cost...

Yeah, this is probably not going to happen unfortunately. It's too much to pull together and we have to finalize the line up and start promoting now!

It is STILL gonna be a KILLER line up for a summer fest and get away this summer!
