LOUISE & MICHAEL PICKETT'S HOUSE CONCERT FOR PEACE - SEPT. 8


Michael and I will be hosting our second annual House Concert for Peace and we wish to personally invite you to this special and wonderful event. Last year it was a celebratory house warming/house concert for peace... we wanted to share our new home and new location with friends, family, and fans. And what a day it was! The weather was perfect. The food was ample and amazing. The musicians were awesome. The feedback we received was overwhelmingly positive and typically ended on the hopeful note: "You WILL be doing it again next year, right?"

The answer is a resounding YES. The talent is booked. The menu is all but confirmed. Now what we need is a confirmation from you so that we can get an idea as to numbers this year. Last year's attendance was 115. Not bad for a 'first annual', huh? Here are the details:

WHO.............Michael & Louise Pickett
WHAT............The Pickett's House Concert for Peace
WHERE......... Crystal Beach, ON CANADA (on Lake Erie)
Google Maps Search: type in "L0S 1B0"
WHEN........... Sunday, September 6, 2009 (2pm to 9pm)
COST.............$20 (children 12 and under are free)

SEATING....... Bring your own. This is an outdoor event on grass!
FOOD............BBQ + Thai Chicken Currie w. Rice, and perhaps
another exotic dish.
DRINKS.........Water, soft drinks, coffee, tea - Bring your own
wine/beer if you so desire.

Last year I reached out to everyone about bringing a salad or dessert of their choice... strictly voluntary... and it worked out perfectly. Nothing major and nothing big. It helped more than I can possibly say. So think about that and if you are so inclined then great. Just let me know what you have in mind. No pressure. No obligation.
