Yes indeed, Jim Lascko took the loss on Strange Daze 97.
We (B0RN to G0) made $100 gas money from the event (as
did most of the other bands) which I asked Jim to keep to
defray his own significantly greater expenses (he wouldn't).

He also took much of the loss on the mini-tour.

I have suggested that he should use the 24-track ADAT copy of the
gig to issue a Strange Daze 97 CD to make up for the loss and get
some money together for the show next year, but I don't think that
has has the financial resources available to do that right now.

Any ideas?

I and (B0RN to G0) would be happy to help him out in any way we can.

He's a great guy and he has given SpaceRock in the USA one hell of
a boost.

In Space we Trust,

Marc.

Yeah, I know, I must get around to updating this.
