You probably know that the party from last January was sold-out at one o’clock, so go early and/or buy your ticket in pre-sale. Tickets are €9 at the door. Pre-sale price is €6, available at the Pink Flamingo’s bar and the Zsa-Zsa Rouge shop.

Radio Pink Flamingo is giving away free tickets the coming weeks. LIsten to the broadcast every Saturday at 18hr on Urgent.fm.

There was some confusion of the whereabouts of Inspector Clay last Saturday but he showed up on time and another great Radio Pink Flamingo show went on air. Check the Pink Flamingo’s site for the podcast of the show from April 19, 2008.

Last Saturday (March, 29 2008) was the last day of the Mania Gent Clearance Sales. Thousands and thousands of records and cd’s were sold since the re-opening in December. To all the faithful costumers the Mania Team says “A Big Thank You”.

The next question was ‘what to do with the records and cd’s that are still left?’ The original plan was a final opening weekend during Easter the Pentecostal holiday but yesterday I received an e-mail from Jan -the Boss- van Regenmortel with the following message.
“I just visited the attic in the store and there is a lot of stuff that has not been for sale for a very long time. To open the store for one weekend is not enough to get it sorted. What do you think of a different plan and open the shop on Friday and Saturday for the rest of April, excluding coming weekend (April 4 and 5, 2008).”
A meeting of the Mania team is scheduled for tomorrow.

What do you think? Should the Mania be open for three weekends in April or should they stick to the original plan and just open during Easter the Pentecostal holiday? And no, it is not an April fool’s joke…

Rick Brands posted a nice Mania related article on his Ten Songs.

update April 7, 2008; expert from the Mania Gent news letter;

Ondanks het feit dat jullie in grote getale onze laatste uitverkoopdagen hebben bezocht hebben we nog steeds een deel van de oude stock
niet kunnen uitstallen. Het is daarom dat we besloten hebben om ook in april nog een paar keer open te doen en dit op volgende dagen:
vrij 11 & za 12
vrij 18 & za 19
vrij 25 & za 26
telkens van 13 tot 18u
