CAMP FREDDY MAYHEM!
I am pleased to be able to tell you that Camp Freddy will be taking over the world famous Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles every Thursday night during the month of May for our very first residency. Each week we will perform a different set list and the evenings performance will culminate with two or three songs featuring our very special guests of the night. We will NOT be advertising these guests in advance. The band will be joined each week by our good friend, and longtime Camp Freddy cohort, Mr Mark McGrath. Mark will perform each week with us and will join Donovan in hosting the evenings festivities. I am sure that a friend or two might appear onstage at each gig as well. Tickets WILL be available to everyone and I will give you all more details when we have them. Lastly, the CFR Podcast page has been updated and the recent shows are now available.
Peace
Billy

I am SORELY tempted to come out to LA last week of May and catch one of these gigs, AND get some sunshine and do some shopping too! Billy - is there ANY chance you could do a Circus Diablo gig around this time as well? That would be MEGA!

uh, my tax return better be a BIG one. Not only do I need to go to Columbus Ohio in May (May 17th to be exact ;-)) BUT now I need to plan a LA May trip too? thinking....thinking....
I think I need to win mega-millions and quit my job.
Posted by: Robin-peebs at February 18, 2008 07:23 AM
Holy crap this is exciting!!!
And maybe I need to work on my reading skills, but will these shows be full hour plus shows?
I'm going to try to make it to all of them.
Best news ever!

Peebs, get your ass out here!

Hello Billy- Hope you had a fantastic bday. I was going to come to your site for another birthday wish, but you had the same apple and blackberry pie post for a LONG time. I was thinking? he hasn't blogged in awhile. Mine never updated.
Cool on you guys doing regular shows! Rock it! You LA gunners our there give Camp Freddy plenty of support:) Take care, Db

CF in May? Happy Birthday to meeeeee!!!! lol
Can't wait!
Thanx Billy!

Hello Mr Morrisson, Finally I get to see the infamous CF live! :) I've been living in LA for 4 months now and will be here for another year so i'll be able to catch a few CF shows. $35 is a wee but pricey but i'm sure i can scrape together some shrapnel. It's been way too long since I've been on this site, glad I popped in again,
all the best
Posted by: Max at February 19, 2008 12:09 PM
fuck it if i get sacked from work then so be it but i can feel a compassionate leave coming on at work....i MUST see the freddy again....i cant miss out!
Posted by: paul at February 19, 2008 12:55 PM
I had the same problem with the home page not updating, was looking for Peebs to issue the MILK CARTON warning looking for Billy.
But now I am so glad to see ANY news much less the Camp Freddy News!
Must Clear my Calendar for May!
Posted by: beth at February 19, 2008 09:08 PM
it's ON.
Posted by: Junebug at February 20, 2008 10:00 AM
Wow...I can't fuckin wait for May! I've been waiting for years to see CF...was soo excited about the knitting factory show...now this...my week has been made. :) Im so glad I moved to LA!

You'd think it were Christmas, the way that I lit up when I read this entry - even though I am on the wrong coast!
I expect full reports from you West coast people... pictures, videos, the whole nine!
And Peebs, if you do win Mega Millions don't forget about me - I am completely willing to put our football differences aside. ☺
Posted by: Caffeinated Sue at February 21, 2008 01:22 AM
I think there should be a full on East Coast representation. C'mon... you guys have three months to put it together. Imagine, East & West, standing right under the guys at the Roxy.
Do it. Would be a billion times better with some UK reps as well.
Do it. The West Coast wants you. Think MAY IN LA.... 80+ degrees, blue skies, the beach, the strip... come... COME to LA....
Come...
Come...
Posted by: Kate at February 21, 2008 09:14 AM
I'm seeing roundtrip tickets, Wed to Sunday, going for $279...
Come to LA... come... come...
Posted by: Kate at February 21, 2008 09:17 AM
Weeeheeee!!!!!!!!!!
Party on the West Coast, I agree with Kate!
Posted by: ozmerica at February 21, 2008 10:24 AM
If we pick one weekend where most can show... we can hit up the strip big time.
Come...come to LA.... LA wants you... LA NEEDS YOU.
Yes...I'm a pain in the ass... but COME to LA anyway.....
Posted by: Kate at February 21, 2008 10:35 AM
Well I just got my ticket for the STP reunion in Columbus Ohio May 17th.
So I have to see IF I can make LA in the month of May. :-(
On the brightside I DO have 35 chances on mega-millions!

Might I recommend everyone shoot for the last Thursday in May, which would be the 29th. It's cool if you can hang all month long, but if you can only come for one show, let's agree on the end of the month, last show. Cool? Peebs, you got to be there girl. UC, you too hon.
Posted by: Kate at February 21, 2008 01:08 PM
you know what's funny....
I was kind of kicking around on Kayak.com, looking at prices...for that date!! LOL
We're you reading my mind Ms. Kate?? ;-)
We'll see, I can't make any promises. I have to focus my energy on planning for the 17th in Columbus! I've been waiting for THAT day to come for 7 years.
Posted by: Robin-peebs at February 21, 2008 04:12 PM
Yeah... I do that peebs... I have this thing. Understand, no promises, but it would be so fuckin kick ASS if you were here.

Posted by: UC13 at February 22, 2008 02:14 PM
Come on Robin, LIVE...we can doooo it. Goddammit.
Billy, billy, billy...watched the DirecTV gameshow Rock and a hard Place--what where they thinking, throwing you a baseball question right off the bat? Damn, boy, you play that kazoo like a mofo, you might need to have that make an appearance on the Billy Morrison solo effort. Brett and Charles were great too, you guys were hysterical. What a squeaker huh? I Tivo'd it, if I figure out how to transfer it I'll post it for those without DirecTV.
I have screen caps, have to upload them ha ha.
Billy, I think you should command Peebs to make the LA trip, pressure her for me, huh?
Have a good weekend, all :)
~Sue
OH! Any peeps in the Bay Area, go see FETISH on March 14th in SF, check out their myspace and add them, they are a cool punk/rock band from Oakland...I think you guys will like them as much as I do!
