The Moaklers are Comin' to Minnesota!

Download some of Steve's music fo' free!

So, it's kind of a long story...
1. Trish and I get introduced to Storyline (May '12)
2. Pete decides to take others thru the process so we buy books in bulk  (Oct' 12)
3. Tim Schurrer, official branding dude for Storyline, sends me a Steve Moakler CD with my books
3a.  Tim and I talk and he tells me he manages Steve
4.  We learn about a non-profit that Tim & Steve are working on called Free the Birds.  (Nov '12)
5.  I buy myself a cool t-shirt for Christmas.  (Dec '12)
6.  I decided to include a video of Steve as part of a Storyline message I gave my church on 12/30/12
7.  We found out Gracie, Steve's wife, started a jewelry business (Miriam Designs) that provides second chances  (Feb '13)
8.  I got Trish a necklace.  She loved it. (Mar '13)
9.  In May, I surprised Trish with an overnight trip to Chicago to see Moakler at this teeny venue.  (May '13 - picture below)
10.  Trish and I jump out of a plane.  I wore my Free the Birds shirt...  which reminded me of Steve & Gracie...
11.  So I contacted Gracie and she collaborated with me to create Trish a custom piece of jewelry.  She loved it. (Aug '13)
12.  We heard about Steve's Fall Tour idea and absolutely fell in love with the idea of bringing them to our neighborhood and introducing them to YOU.
13.  We took a financial risk and made an offer to bring them to town (made the offer last week)
14.  We were just informed that they received over 100 offers and that ours is one of the ones that they have accepted.  

The show will be on Tuesday, October 8th, and we sincerely hope that you'd be willing to save the date and share this experience with us!  We guarantee that you will leave inspired.  

We plan on nailing down the final details for the show within the next 48 hours and selling tickets @ $10 per immediately following.  We're hoping the price point allows you to get tickets for friends and neighbors.  The show is open to anyone that wants to be there and we look forward to meeting some new friends!  

Selling 80 tickets allows us to reach our immediate term goal.  Selling out a venue of about 250 would enable us to meet our obligation AND do some really fun stuff for the audience.  :)

Feel free to email me with any questions @ pba at pbapottery dot com.  Stay tuned for more info soon!
