Attention all shutterbugs: The Che Underground’s quarter-century reunion weekend is on track for May 29-30 (advance tickets at the Casbah Web site). Besides the fun of getting the bands back together (not to mention our oldest, dearest friends), some of us are excited about do-overs for the historical record.
Between the primitive technologies of the early ’80s and a youthful lack of focus, many great performances went unrecorded. We’re hoping to capture some high points in May, and we’ve got videography and audio pretty much nailed for the events.
But we’re still hoping skilled photographers will volunteer for the Che Army.

Got Che? Che-check it out:
i’m down. bringing my camera.
o, and i ordered my tix a while back but they never came… what’s up with that?
Are they will-call? I know that some folks have physically received their tickets …
i don’t think i did will call, but meh, if i get there are they aren’t, i will just gate crash!
I ordered a ticket for myself and then a couple weeks later I ordered one for my ex who’s coming down from Portland for the event -- and I’ve received both via USPS without complications.
Did you use the online casbah ordering system? You can do “will call” as an option and just give your id at the door.
I got my tickets in the mail.
A bit of scary breaking news relating especially to San Diego: a new flu virus is killing people. (I’m just the messenger)

It’ll be kinda … Devo!
it is in mexico city NOT san diego. and I have the flu currently, so stop scaring me!
k, you don’t have the swine flu. i refuse to think/believe it. but yes, that shit is serious. a gf of mine in tx had her school close down (she teaches) and three kids in hospital with it. it’s no joke.
i will check my account about the tix.
My camera has the flu. We are quarantined. Cannot make the trip. CDC orders.
Swear.
Or not.
I’ll come up with a better story later.
But I’m booked elsewhere and need the gig, so you’ll have to be satisfied with my virtual presence.
Big question…did I ackchully exist back then or were you all just really wishing for somebody as cool as I was/am/are/is/whatever so you all collectively hallucinated my glorious self into existence?
Discuss.

Or Not?
I can’t wait for the Che thing flu or not! I got my ticket delivered ASAP via USPS. Had a beer with Sergio today -- we can’t wait to pretend that we’re 20!
>>we can’t wait to pretend that we’re 20!
I’d like to be 20 without the sticky, weepy bits, please. I’ll take the abs and skip the drama! 🙂

I’ll bring my camera. I have no idea what I am doing but then that adds the thrill of the unknown, no? Plus, it has a delete button.
I have a camera, too.
It is one of those 4 in one cameras-MP3/video/still/…/….GULP.
I guess I should spend a wee bit of time in the next two weeks learning how to operate all of the functions including the flash
and
delete.
Delete being especially important
(thank you for pointing that out Megan).
