MR.SPEED attends the 2009 OFEA Convention 11.15.2009 | MrSpeedOnline.com We just returned home from our third trip to the OFEA Convention in Columbus, Ohio. The OFEA stands for The Ohio Festival and Events Association to which we are active members and have been for almost three years. Every year the association sets up camp on the outskirts of Columbus, Ohio for 2 days. This allows entertainers of all sorts to participate in a showcase and meet and greet with festival buyers from all over the state of Ohio. Each year that we have been a part of the event we are given the opportunity to set up a booth and promote our tribute to the best of our ability. This year we unveiled our brand new promotional DVD as the main focal point of our booth. You can now view that DVD here on our home page. The DVD received rave reviews from buyers and fellow entertainers. In the past we took the approach that more was better but this year we stripped away some of the excess and kept things very simplistic. For two straight days we put on our outfits and did our best to impress as many buyers as possible that MR.SPEED is worth their time. This year was an amazing two days for us. We had interest from 17 different events and are looking at serious bookings with at least 6 annual festivals within the next few weeks. Many of the festival committees have winter meetings to discuss their plans for 2010 so the possibility of us hearing from a few more is very good as the grip of winter takes its hold on the north coast. Below we’re pictured with Steve Cover from Columbus, Ohio. Steve is a strong supporter of MR.SPEED and does his very best to secure events for our band whenever possible. The other image is our booth at the event. Stay tuned to our “Tour” page for up to the minute details surrounding each and every performance that we confirm as our 2009 calendar year comes to a close.

*Winter Update* Now that we’re all firmly in old man winters grip once again I thought that I would let you know what we’re up to for 2010. Our rehearsals have been going very well. We’ve set our sites on another classic album. One which we felt needed a closer look. We’ve performed a few of the songs from this release but now we’re really getting serious about the remaining few that have been too long off of the radar. I’m sure that you want me to tell you what that album is but that would spoil the surprise of seeing us “live” now wouldn’t it? I will tell you that in addition to those classic tracks we’re also working on a few more selections from “Sonic Boom”. By now we’re sure that you have that album and we’re excited about bringing our versions to you very soon. We’ve added a number of new shows in the past week to our schedule. I can promise that this is just the beginning. There are quite a few more on the back burner and it’s only a matter of time before they become a reality. Stay tuned to our “Tour” page for all of the details. We’re really looking forward to getting back out there making more memories on our “LIVE & LOUD” Tour 2010. We’re also working on brand new designs for both our men’s & women’s t-shirts. We felt it was time to change things up a bit and we’re hoping to have them ready very soon. Of course we’ll add them here to our site in case you aren’t able to grab one when you see us at a venue near you. Rich, Joe, Rob & Andrew MR.SPEED
