Update!
Due to conflict with a nationally touring band (who wanted the date I had) we are moving Metal Mayhem to Saturday May 26th. The benefit to this will be better weather and more time for you to put your band together!
Come out to play or just watch as HeroGear and DFW Bar Nights hosts Metal Mayhem, a Child's Play event at The Ranch. This event will feature 32 bands, performing on the stage at The Ranch in Arlington (formally known as Fantasy Ranch, the most notorious strip joint in North Texas, where many a rock star visited when on tour back in the day) with all proceeds going to Child's Play. Check the website for more details.
http://www.herogear.net/MetalMayhem.html
The Ranch was just too expensive to hold practice events at, I am currently looking for someplace smaller and will update as soon as I find a place. _________________

Wow, this looks like fun, and it's actually in my neck of the woods (roughly).
Not sure if we'll be able to make the trip yet, but if anyone is looking for band mates, my husband and I are pretty comfortable on vocals and drums (and decent on guitar/bass). I've still never been to a rhythm game tournament/play night before, despite how long I've been on ScoreHero.
Either way I'd be happy to donate. _________________

Alright, talked with Hailz a bit, and I think we may have put a band together! And not sure if its possible, but if you still need it, I could help out with the manual labor stuff. _________________

I just got an email response I was waiting on. I can now officially announce that we have Harmonix's support for this event! More details to follow! _________________

Now that Harmonix has offered to give us lots of swag to give away, I am adding some contests both for the bands and the audience as well. So far I have come up with 2 contests
Best band rider-(voted by the audience) Van Halen's brown M&M's one is the classic, what can you come up with? (must either bring the item, or a poster of it or something) may even break it down into catagories.
Hottist groupie- (voted by the bands) you're welcome.
Can anyone think of something else we can add? looking for more ideas. _________________

Metal Mayhem is now just a month away, bands are beginning to get their initial $100 in to secure a spot in the show, make sure and get yours in before all the spots are gone. I'm currently waiting on my shipment of stuff from Harmonix to see what additional contests we will be holding, don't wait too long!
Also, for those that can't make the trip, we will be live streaming the event here:

Pictures, and other event info can be found at our Facebook page

Out of curiosity, how many other bands have signed up so far? Hoping for a great turnout because this sounds like so much fun! Can't wait to meet everyone in less than 3 weeks.
If anyone is reading this thread and can't make it but would like to help out, you are always welcome to donate $5 to our band Fraggle Rock (well, the unofficial real-life Fraggle Rock anyways!) ...then on the 26th you can watch us be crazy on the live stream, for better or for worse (Oh god!)

Rock Gear is now onboard, and sending us some of their awesome LED lights to give away! Also, rumor has it that The King may come out of hiding to oversee the event, pose for pictures, and maybe sing a song or two. If you are planning to enter a band in the show, you need to contact me ASAP. We can wait till you arrive at the event to turn in your donations, but to insure you have a spot and to make sure we have the song you want we need to hear from you now. We will not be downloading tracks the day of the event.
