   The Spark!: General Info
Member Since11/6/2007
InfluencesOur influences are everyone who has, is or are willing to help support local art. Whether that art be music, paintings, film, drawings, poetry, or whatever. So that means our influence is you. And only you will help bring this art alive. With your support we can help give our community a place of expression, somewhere where anyone one of any age can feel comfortable. A place to hang out with your friends, enjoy the best local music has to offer, and hopefully a place where you can meet new people that have the same interests as you.

THE SPARK is a place for friendship and by saying that NO DISCRIMINATION will be tolerated. As of right now this is an ALL AGES venue, and in order for that to stay we need to follow the guide lines. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO ALCOHOL. There is a Bar upstairs and any one of age is more than welcome to enjoy their favorite beverage up there, but sorry to say your drink has to stay upstairs.

We at THE SPARK would personally like to thank everyone who is helping lay down the foundation to what may be one of the best things to happen to our local art and music scene.

So come out and have a good time. Bring a friend, and all we are asking of you is that you have fun.

P.L.U.R. for those who know what it stands for. It's what Spark is.
The Spark!





Jun 20 2008 10:06 PM

we're trying to mix up the day so people will be there to see a new band and maybe meet some new people since they are there at a different time of the day. we encourage everybody to come out and support good bands no matter what time they're playing...and we encourage that you stick around and listen to some bands that maybe you haven't heard before, or haven't seen a lot already. give some new-to-you bands a listen and see how big the spectrum is, maybe meet some new people and learn something new. we're just trying it out in hopes that it will have positive repercussions. the more us music folk get to know each other and get to cooperating, the damn cooler this area will get...the damn more fun we're all going to have. much more cool music stuff is going to be going on.

Hey.
I've attended a few things at the spark, and it has great potential.
Im pretty close with this band Margin of Error, and in the last half of this year, they are starting their tour promoting their new cd. I've mentioned to them, the spark, and were throwing the idea around, about them playing there.
Here's a link to their page, and hopefully we can all work something out and get a great electronic band in this area!
