A.S.I. Senate seeks Smashmouth 

By Andres Cardenas
Daily Forty-Niner

Ozomatli is being considered as the opening act for an on-campus concert and Blink 182 was given an extension to play in that concert, Associated Students Inc. President Toby Sexton said Thursday.

Smashmouth had until 5 p.m. Thursday to accept an A.S.I. bid to play at The Pyramid in November. 

Sexton said the band was given an extension until 5 p.m. today.

The bid was sent out to Smashmouth because the band wants to hold a November concert.

If Smashmouth does not accept the bid, A.S.I. will seek Blink 182 for a December concert, Sexton said.

The Daily Forty-Niner was misinformed after Wednesdayís meeting. A.S.I. Administrator Robert Garcia said Blink 182 was being sought. 

Later that day, Garcia learned that Smashmouth would be bid on, instead of Blink 182.

"It was a communication glitch," Garcia said about the misinformation.

If Blink 182 decides to accept the bid, the band has two requests: The band wants the concert in December and the concert tickets only be sold to students, Garcia said. 
 In other campus concert business:

  • The Long Beach Dub All Stars concert will be today at the University Student Union. 

  • The concert almost was all but sold out, said Garcia, who expects more than 600 people will show up to watch the concert.
     

  • A.S.I. plans to hold a disk jockey and break-dance competition to be held in December, Garcia said.
