Greetings TAB
Members and Teen Volunteers!
**We are closed THIS Tuesday, 11/11, for Veteran's
Day, so there is no TAB meeting this week. The next
Teen Advisory Board meeting is Tuesday, 11/25, from
6-7pm. We will be talking about the lock-in events
and food, the gaming nights, and the movie night for
December, as well as going over the holiday program
stuff.**
Thanks to all of you that volunteered for the
Flapjack Festival last weekend. We signed up a ton
of new library cards and made over $60 on our basket
drawing. We have fewer events now that we are going
into the holiday season, but there is still plenty
to do. We still need more acts for the Teen Talent
Show THIS Friday, 11/14, from 6-9pm, but we only
have a few spots open. You can enter solo or in a
group up to 5. Just about any talent is
acceptable. Winners will get a $50 Hot Topic Gift
Card for 1st place, $25 for 2nd, and $10 for 3rd.
Call me at 813-929-1214 to sign up! Everyone else
is welcome to come watch and eat free snacks. We
have a 16+ Video Game Night on Friday, 11/21, from
6-9, and you can come try out our new Guitar Hero
World Tour game and gear.
**Our big announcement is the John Gold CD Release
Party and Battle of the Bands Kickoff (whew, big
name) that is coming up NEXT Saturday, 11/22, from
6-10:30pm. Local artist John Gold and several other
bands will be playing a FREE concert here at the
library as we start our promotion for next year's
Rockus Maximus: Battle of the Bands. This is the
first chance that bands can register for the Battle
of the Bands. Once we hit 8 bands registered, that
is it, so this is the best chance to get a spot. I
fully expect the roster to be full within a week, so
make sure to tell any teen bands you know to show up
for this concert too!
Land O Lakes Library Teen Event Schedule -
Volunteers are always needed for setup, cleanup, and
to run the events!
**Wednesday, November 12, 6-7pm - Tween Book
Blasters - This is our new tween book discussion
club for ages 9-12. Come talk about the latest in
popular fiction for the tween set. We will go over
books from the Sunshine State list and other similar
popular collections. Bring your little brother or
sister! Think the event name is stupid? Good!
Come discuss that with us at the event, too, and
enjoy free snacks and soda.
**Friday, November 14, 6-8pm - Teen Talent
Show - Register and show off your best talent(s) to
an adoring crowd. Winning contestants will receive
gift cards and endless glory! Even if you don't
want to enter, you can still come and watch the
competition and enjoy free snacks and drinks. Whee!
**Friday, November 21, 6-9pm - 16+ Video Game
Night - Anyone 16 and older is welcome to join us
for a free video game night with Halo 3, Bioshock,
Guitar Hero 4, Rock Band 1 & 2, DDR, Taiko Drum
Master, Wii games, and more. Free snacks and drinks
will also be available.
**Saturday, November 22, 6-10:30pm - Battle
of the Bands XII: Rockus Maximus Retro Kick-off
Party Featuring John Gold and many other artists -
Join us for a FREE concert with food and drinks and
witness the release of John Gold's latest
full-length CD. This is our kickoff for Battle of
the Bands XII and the first time any bands can
register to be a part of the Battle running from
January to March. This is one of our bigger events
of the year to celebrate the start to celebrate the
BIGGEST event in the Pasco County Library System...
Battle of the Bands!
Call me, e-mail me, or visit the library if you need
anything or just want to talk. Also if anyone out
there is receiving this and no longer wants to be on
the mailing list, please let me know....P.S ...Sara
Barboza insists that I say "Hullo" from her on this
newsletter.

Beginning at 6:00 p.m., the eight qualifying bands will each perform for 25 minutes with each set including at least 2 original songs. Different genres of music will be represented. The bands will be judged on stage presence, vocals, songwriting, and general musicianship.
In addition to the live band competition, we’ve added something new this year. We have video/online documentaries of each participating band on the library’s MySpace website where bands are competing for your votes for best online presence. Eight weekly episodes will be posted on MySpace TV enabling anyone in the world to watch the bands and vote for their favorite! There will be a winner for each episode and an overall champion will be declared at the end of the contest. Go to the teen page on the library’s website, pascolibraries.org; the teen blog; or www.MySpace.com/pascolibraries to view all the episodes and to vote for your favorite band! More than 2,000 votes have been tallied in the first week with many of those votes coming from around the world: United Kingdom, Australia, Singapore, Canada, and Brazil. One vote even came from a boat in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean! Check out the online competition and get in your votes for your favorite band!**************************************Scroll Down****************************************
