donlombardo Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 From Mike Park's newsletter: Ok….. SO….. ASIAN MAN turns 15 next year. Shoooootzzzz.. . that’s a long time I’ve been doing this. Even though it feels like I just started this recently. Anyways, I guess that’s a good thing that it still feels fresh.So what does this mean? Well, here’s what I have planned. On June 16th, 17th, and 18th we’ll take over two clubs in San Francisco, California. THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL and THE PARKSIDE. Both clubs are located on 17th street and only a 5 minute walk apart. We will have shows going simultaneously at both venues on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. We’ll do the wristband option for the whole weekend so you can bounce back and forth to both clubs and we’ll also sell individual tickets to each show. I am trying to get every single band that ever put a release out on asian man to participate. And yes, I realize that will be impossible, but I’m going try and pull some miracles. Wish me luck. I’m excited to say so far I’ve gotten MU330 to commit to doing this and also the almighty SLOW GHERKIN. But yeah, I’m seriously going after some bands that you will freak out if they commit. These are small clubs too. Both are only around 350 capacity spaces, so we’ll have a great atmosphere for every show. And it will be in the best city in the whole wide world. SAN FRANCISCO!!! YAY!!! Basically, I’ve just started contacting bands, but I expect at least 50 bands. Each week I’ll update the bands confirmed to play, but yeah.. just wanted to get the word out there and I’ll keep you posted on all the goodness to come. Be well. Peace, mike park Seeing MU330 would be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottheisel Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Slow Gherkin means I will be booking a fucking ticket! I wonder who else will be playing? Alkaline Trio and Lawrence Arms seem obvious... I hope Tuesday, Duvall, Colossal and Blue Meanies get added! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mclz Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I would love to go to this. And also MU330 were one of my favorite bands, I wish they would do something new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axlrose Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I'm hoping for a Link 80 reunion oh please oh please. That wouldn't be too impossible. I think most of the dudes are still friends. I'd be super stoked to see that. This is going to make that one strip between the clubs just a mess for three days. Should be awesome. I know Mike loves BOTH but I'd think like DNA lounge and Slims might work better size wise if they could get them to agree to it. Oh well.

rtw88 Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Seems like a lot more than 700 people would want to go to this. I foresee a lot of crying in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dynamitekid Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 There are so many great possibilities for this. I would love to see the blue meanies so much. I can only imagine the conflicts there will be for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericheartsu Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 mike told me he is looking to get every band who ever put a record out on asian man to play. Also, link 80 can't play, danielle steele killed her son. CMON! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goraiders Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 is it weird that i'd be most excited for five iron frenzy? not that they'd ever play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donlombardo Posted November 20, 2010 Author Share Posted November 20, 2010 is it weird that i'd be most excited for five iron frenzy? not that they'd ever play. FIF would make the top of my list as well, tightly followed by the broadways. I think FIF is less likely to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mclz Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Skankin' Pickle is reuniting today, doing a song for Yo Gabba Gabba. I don't know when it will air though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadetapplesauce Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Skankin' Pickle is reuniting today, doing a song for Yo Gabba Gabba. I don't know when it will air though. It's for the live show today in San Francisco. I think it's just Mike and a few members of Monkey playing. As for the anniversary thing, it should be awesome!
