<p>Wow, thanks for getting on this so quickly!<br>
</p>
<p>So may I infer from the foregoing that we can do it on the 19th
in the ballroom? I just need to get back on the promotion pony as
soon as possible, first undoing the promotion I did from before
924 Gilman pulled the rug out. I've updated the Facebook event
page with your location, but really need the big thumbs-up.<br>
</p>
<p>I really want to bring the hacker/maker people in this year, and
doing it in the Ballroom I think will be GREAT for that. Also,
former music venue, so there is still that synergy, also kinda
full circle for me because I was still employed by Nady when he
lost the use permit the first time around.</p>
<p>Jenny,<br>
</p>
<p>As for being interviewed about the early days of Nady's use of
The Omni as a venue (which started out great and turned crappy; I
have some quite insider insight on how that happened), I would
love to, and I'm still in touch with some former (and even
current) employees who might be interested in giving their insight
as well. The former head sound guy still lives in his apartment at
the 1145 65th Street location, for instance. Mr. Pete, who is a
really sweet guy.</p>
<p>It was sad to watch the wonderfully eclectic bookings turn to
pay-for-play metal. I was there on the nights when Neil Young and
Thomas Dolby did tracking for possible inclusion on live albums,
when Branford Marsalis played, Red Hot Chili Peppers
(pre-superstardom), Motorhead, Blue Oyster Cult, Voice Farm;
really a great mix of stuff.<br>
</p>
So hoping to hear back soon. I am psyched! Hoping I can get on
serious promotion this weekend.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

<div>Just a quick date clarification for the
lists - a quick peek at the /occupy/
backend shows a pending event request for
Awesome Orchestra on MONDAY the 20th, but
Sunday the 19th looks free and I see
Erik's event request there :)<br>
<br>
</div>
Erik, some folks at the Omni are also
putting together an oral history of the
building, in part as research needed to get
Omni's conditional use permit reinstated
with the city (who lost the prior CUP in
1989). Would you be interested in doing an
interview with me about your memories of the
club in the 80s?<br>
<br>
</div>
Looks like a rad event! <br>

so nice to hear from you!<br>
<br>
I would love for you to have the event at
Omni!! we have a booking system and<br>
here's a link. I just looked at the
calendar for you (which is the first step)<br>
and it looks to me like February 19th is
clear!!!!!!! That's assuming you want<br>
the main ballroom, which i think would be
awesome.<br>
<br>
<a href="https://omnicommons.org/occupy" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://omnicommons.org/occupy</a><br>
<br>
don't worry about the second tuesday thing..
just say that Jake from Sudoroom<br>
wants to sponsor this event and that we want
to reserve the ballroom for that<br>
date. As soon as your request comes in,
i'll push to get it confirmed.<br>
<br>
I'm assuming we can collect donations of
some kind to give to the Omni for use<br>
of the space? Just whatever is normal for
an event like this at Gilman i<br>
guess. That's one of the questions on the
form you'll see at the above link.<br>
<br>
Also, sudoroom will be able to supply a lot
of cool electronic STUFF for the<br>
tables, so i think people who come to this
will be very pleased.<br>
<br>
-jake<br>
<br>
note: sudoroom constantly has a big e-waste
pile, and if you think the event<br>
will add to the unwanted electronics pile,
we should plan for someone to take a<br>
truck to Universal Waste in Fruitvale after
the event to clear it all out.<br>

I hope you have been well. Mitch Altman
gave me this email address, and I<br>
have been trying to reach you over the
past couple of years using what I<br>
think must be out-of-date contact
information.<br>
<br>
I wanted to ask about how Sudo Room is
doing and all that, but Mitch says<br>
it’s thriving. I’ve been to the website a
couple of times and was amazed and<br>
amused to find out that (according to the
website anyway) you are in the old<br>
Omni building. I worked for Nady Systems
from 1986 to 1991, right during the<br>
time when it was a thriving venue for at
first a pretty cool eclectic mix,<br>
and then later, pay-to-play hair metal.<br>
<br>
Anyway, 924 Gilman told me that the
traditional 3rd Sunday in February would<br>
be fine, and I printed up a pile of
handbills and started to go around<br>
promoting the event, an event page on
Facebook that got really good<br>
attention, and my first physical stop
being Ace Monster Toys’ open house<br>
night. I really want to lay into the “DIY
Electronics” part this year, as we<br>
have attracted plenty of the “Musicians”
part in the past couple of them and<br>
I want to balance it out and get back to
the kind of thing where you and<br>
Mitch met, get the maker/hardware
hacker/tinkerers interested. I have a<br>
variety of surplus components to give
away, a bit of redistribution that I<br>
figured you would like.<br>
<br>
Anyway, right after my visit to Ace,
Gilman’s booker told me that the day<br>
they had promised had been taken for an
event that the landlord (The Caning<br>
Shop) was doing, and suggested February
26th, the following Sunday.<br>
<br>
Now they are telling me that there’s
something going on that day and how<br>
about Saturday the 25th?<br>
<br>
It’s just a month away at this point and I
need to be able to promote it with<br>
a definite date, and I would like a
Sunday.<br>
<br>
My question: is there enough space for it
at Sudo Room, and would you be<br>
interested in hosting the event this year?
It would be on Sunday the 19th<br>
(the original date) or Sunday the 26th.<br>
<br>
Please let me know yea or nay ASAP, as our
time frame to promote the event is<br>
ever narrowing.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
