Also, for those of you not on Venice's local mailing list, here's the postcard that went out advertising the Canyon Club show.  Kipp was obviously in a very silly mood when he wrote it.

Well, the auctions I listed a couple of days ago for tickets for Friday's show are over.  But something new has just come up.  Special seats in the first two rows and passes to a meet-and-greet with Jackson Browne after the concert, are selling on Ebay for $1035 per ticket.  The price is set for "Buy It Now," so there is no bidding involved, just a straight purchase.  Remember, these are for charity, and are therefore a tax write-off.  Check those out
over here.

Well, they say there's no such thing as a sold out show.  I don't know who "they" are, but obviously they're already holding tickets to Friday's show, because if they weren't, I'm not so sure they'd be saying that.  This Jackson Browne/Venice benefit concert is about as sold out as a show could possibly be.  I've gotten a lot of e-mail from fans, and from friends, asking for my help getting them in, but there's been nothing I could do for them.  Until now.  Turns out the idiom holds some truth after all.  I found two pairs of tickets on sale at Ebay.  Bidders will probably wind up paying a bit above face value for them, but it's money well spent for this special night of music.  You can participate in those auctions over here and over here.  Good luck!

A note from Mark Lennon:

Hey Everyone,

I will have a booth at the upcoming Carnevale event on Saturday, May 15th of my handpainted clothing and merchandise.  I'll have pants, jackets, shoes, skirts, bags and more.  You can see pictures on
my website at www.markylennon.com.

I'll also be singing background vocals with John Vester from 3:30 to 3:50pm.  Although my poster entry into the contest did not win, it will be displayed at the Venice Branch of the Bank of America along with the other entries...check it out!

Carnevale is a great day full of music, costumes, and festivities.  Check out their website at: www.carnevale.us, especially the entertainment page.  The faire is from noon to 10pm on the Venice Circle.

Also, Venice will be playing at Topanga Days on Monday, May 31.  We go on at 3:15, so be sure to get there before 2 to park, get something to eat and drink, and see the faire before our concert.  Topanga Days website is:

After far too long of a delay (sorry about that), the German-language section of Venice Talk is now up and running,
right over here.  We'd like to invite all our German friends to come and join our ever-growing community.  Drop by and say hello!

Dates and venues for John Vester's Holland tour are now posted on the
