The first of the "outside funds" for the party have just been deposited (and the running total has been adjusted accordingly.)
Remember folks, if you get left money by that great aunt you never really knew, well, be sure to send a little of that this way. The party will only get better.

Moving At Lightning Speed!
Okay, maybe not, but progress is coming a lot faster then it was.
1) I met with the guy for the American Legion hall on Tuesday and I rented it. It turns out I misheard him over the phone. While the hall rental was indeed $250, the kitchen rental was only $50 and not an additional $250. I put $50 deposit down and secured the date.
2) As for the date, the Legion guy gave me the option of picking Saturday night. When I asked him what about the chicken fry scheduled for that night he said, "It's Labor Day weekend. Who wants to eat fried chicken then? We might as well rent the hall out if we can." Good point. The upshot is the big night for music will be Saturday, September the 4th.
3) After I knew the date, I got a note off to the manager of Splitsville (name of Rob) and let him know when I wanted to book the band. He said he would "run it by the boys" ASAP. They have a gig in LA this weekend, so I think they are a bit busy, but they will at least be together in one place. But who wouldn't want to come to beautiful west central Wisconsin? I mean, its not like its planned for January or anything.
4) I've got the name of the guy who runs the bar at the Legion. I'm gonna want to spruce up the offerings behind the bar, but they have to do all the buying. Still, if their distributor can get it, we can get it. I won't finalize that until next summer, but it is something to keep in mind.
So, see. I haven't been just sitting on my ass here.
