Very Important Info Reguarding 04/21 concert at UCLA
April 20th, 2009 by daphnelovesderbymusicHey ya’ll.
We are quite honored to have been invited to play a benefit show this
coming Tuesday at UCLA. Unfortunately the show is NOT open to the
public. However, we have been told we may prepare a list of anyone who would like to attend of up to 100 people!
If
you are planning to attend this show and be one of the 100 non UCLA
students allowed to attend, please send us a MYSPACE message by noon
Monday 04/20. If you would like to come and don’t have a myspace, have a friend who does message for you ![]()
Please be sure to include your real name in the message as photo ID may be requested upon arrival at UCLA.
First messages sent first served.
All entries must be in by Monday morning as we will need a day to get the list to UCLA and to notify anyone that does not fall into the 100 limit.
We still have many spots available.
Here is some information about the show and the cause we are supporting.
Please note this is a benefit show and is free but there is a $10 suggested donation.
Much Love,
Daphne Loves Derby
