THIS SEPTEMBER marks our most intense desire to keep Tomato Bomb HQ going and be the residence for artists, guests, patrons and friends, who have considered this HQ their home and playground, as well. And for the first leg of the effort to make this place, not only the IN venue on this stretch, but also the one-stop location for most of the genre we can accommodate, we have instituted selling tickets as one exercise by which we can accumulate some needed amount to leverage some of our most pressing problems.
In line for this month are benefit concerts provided by friends who have pledged both their talents and resources selflessly, with the same amount of energy and performance level as you would see them on regular nights, and sometimes even topping those nights. Also, that classic film by known independent filmmaker Jon Red — Still Lives — will be re-staged for the benefit of everyone interested. The Stand Up, Take Action pledge for the fight against poverty also partakes of our cause (see our Calendar).
We still have the regular gigs provided by our friendly Pinoy Bluesmen Deluxe where jamming is always great. And our promos are not suspended on these nights!
We are truly happy for the support most of you showed and shared, and we know we cannot appreciate you enough; but the HQ is your home, make your stay worthwhile. The HQ stays as there are friends like you who want to keep us here for a long time.
Of course we have to keep selling to you. And it will be great if you can get more clones of you to avail more of our ticketed events. There is a sense of urgency in this our plea — we know we can count on you, as always. So if you come, come with the bunch. For ticket reservations, text or call Jeng.
Our deepest thanks.
