[Dynagroove] In repsonce to Amy Ricketts....

[Joseph Munguia]

Admission was $20 and well worth it.  There was online promotion just not on
this list.  Dynagroove is a great list for a variety of LA happenings but
there are other lists, boards, etc.

My advice Amy would be to add Harvey as a friend on MySpace -

-
that should give you an inside line.
