ATTENTION!!!!! The Launching Pad is no longer booking shows (so please don't e-mail booking requests). We are OFFICIALLY closing on November 1st. Please read our blog for details about why we're closing. We're having a HUGE all day festival on November 1st that will be $3 for an all day wristband or FREE if you wear an LP t-shirt. We have two different LP t-shirts that are $10 and they're available at any of our shows. Just ask the person running the door and they'll get you a shirt. We only have a limited number, so get one before we close. We're also looking into making an LP compilation CD featuring many of the bands that have played the LP. It'll have 10-12 tracks on it for only $3. Thanks to everyone who came out to shows and helped out while we were open. Maybe one day this community will work together to keep an all ages venue alive and going. Sorry we couldn't keep this one alive.
