["Glenn Boothe / Local 506" <gboothe2 AT earthlink.net>]

As hopefully you're aware, I'm all for making rocks shows more fun and
turning them into bigger events such as the Minutemen tribute show and
the WXYC BBQ shows.  In fact, I even contacted Kings last year to see
if we could do a Best of The Cover-Up show to give bands a second
chance to play and Chapel Hill peeps a better chance to see them.
Kings didn't like that idea and I respect their decision.

So, of course, once I caught wind of Rock Lotto (which I hadn't even
heard of prior to buying 506,) I started sniffing it out.  Kerry
Cantwell and I have discussed doing this at 506 a few times over the
past year or so, but it hasn't gotten off the ground.  In fact, I still
have her last email from February in my 'Bands to Book' email folder
(and yes, that folder does exist for bands I want to give shows to.)  I
can't speak for Kerry, but I think if a few people offered to help
organize and run this, it could get going again.

And, of course, 506 would love to host...glenn
