About me: TRIPLE NICKEL TAVERN SHOW BOOKING INFORMATION:
Contact me HERE for shows and more info! http://www.myspace.com/555nickel
I only do show bookings and business through Myspace and Email (damian(dot)burford(at)gmail(dot)com ). Myspace is the BEST route to get a hold of me for the time being.
DO NOT Instant Message me or TEXT message me about shows and information.
Due to my busy schedule, you may not get an immediate response. I take one or two afternoons a week to sit down and reply to my email. It may take a few days for you to receive a response. Please do not fret if you see me posting bulletins, blogs, ect and have not gotten a response back. I will eventually respond to all messages. Please respect and remember that i do have a personal life. Thank You.
I am the Booking Agent/Events Coordinator, Door guy and Occasional Sound man at The Triple Nickel Tavern (http://www.myspace.com/555nickel)
I work the 5am till 10am shift at Costco stocking bulk goods. When I'm working at the Bar, I'm often there till 2am. I never sleep. I ride a bike about 70 miles a week, some weeks much much more.
I am an asshole who people often try to convince is a nice guy. I have bitch tits. I am super fucking amazing and awesome. I am totally humble. Oh and Sarcastic as all hell.
Who I'd like to meet: "I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be. -Douglas Adams"
Okay Damian I think I'm out for the concert. I hope it's a good show though. But we should see a movie next week. Let me know if you have any free time and what movie you want to see. What did you think of Where The Wild Things Are? I cried for a minute at the end of the movie.
We're bringing Monday Nights back at the all-new Redstone. Brews and Beats presented by Funky Fresh Productions is bringing all the best DJ's in town to the Redstone.
