The October membership meeting will be held at the Rhythm Room on Saturday, October 23rd, beginning at 8:00 pm. We expect the weather to be perfect that night, so we'll meet on the patio under the awning. Barbeque will be available, and PBS members attending the meeting will get a discount ($5 admission) to see Chicago blues great Lil' Ed right after the meeting. We hope to see you there!
The deadline to enter the Arizona Blues Showdown is coming up real soon. Early indications are that this year's event, scheduled for November 7th & 14th at the Rhythm Room, will be one of the strongest ever. Acts still wanting to enter should visit the PBS website to download an application and rules in MS Word format. Blues fans will want to mark those dates on the calendar, as this year's Showdown will be one NOT to miss! The complete schedule for the preliminary rounds will be sent out in about a week.
