[Fredslist] Gotham thanks some special supporters

[Corey Bearak]

Gotham,

This past Sunday, March 22, 2015, our tribe held its Third Annual Gotham Battle of the Bands <http://www.gothamnetworking.com/m/events/view/Battle-of-the-Bands-2015> at The Knitting Factory in Brooklyn.   Norm Spizz thanked the committee and the judges.  I saw posts by Shelley Simpson and Sonia describing how great a time we all experience.

Attendees enjoyed  eight very talented bands – Chordless Triad (1st prize, again), Cometa, Parkway South, The Offshoots (3rd Prize), Stronger Than Sum, Jessica & The Hot Seeds, 1 More Animal, and Off The Record (2nd Prize on its return from year one when it won it al).  The winners will all perform at the world famous Café Wha? in NYC (Thank you Gotham MAD Chair William Skody!). 

Frankly, if not for the generosity of our sponsors, the above two paragraphs and the flow of other thank yous to committee members and judges would never have occurred.  The sponsors enabled Gotham to offer prizes sufficient to attract quality bands and a new exciting venue not previously available, and in the heart of “hipsterville”.

So EVERYONE in Gotham please join me and the Battle of the Bands Committee members in THANKING these generous souls who — through their generous support — made yesterdays' musical extravaganza possible:
