[NewMusic] Skronkathon (fwd)

[Tom Duff]

Agh!  I just noticed that I sent this to the newmusicevents list
and not this one.  If you're like me, you throw that one away
unread on days when you're too busy to go out, and so probably
didn't notice the call for Skronkathon proposals.

So, imagine you got this 10 days ago and have already procrastinated until
the last minute and thus you desperately need to send me a proposal 
t0day!!1!

(I already have proposals from djll, grobair, jermcirkus, jfheule,
matt[@sfsound.org], ojstudio, pgsaxo, polly.moller, slusser, tbickley so
they need not resend them.)

After much waffling, we've finally set a date for 2007's Transbay 
Skronkathon Barbecue.  It'll be on Sunday July 15, winding up four days 
of festivities celebrating 21 Grand's seventh anniversary and 1000th show.

Anyway, unless you're new around here (or you just woke up from that 
8-year long coma) you know the drill.  We set up a bunch a charcoal grills 
in the alleyway outside 21 Grand and cook, while the Bay Area's most 
adventurous musicians play inside.  We don't charge admission (so we can't 
pay anyone) but we spend the setup time between acts begging for donations 
for the Transbay Creative Music Calendar.  So it's a lot like pledge drive 
week on KPFA, except with better music (and without the possibility of
switching stations over to The Bone.)

So we're looking for volunteers to perform.  If you want to play, please
sent me (td at pixar.com):

name of group & performers
a short description of what you do that we can use for publicity
preferred starting times, if any (it's easier for us if you're flexible)

Once we've got an idea of who wants to play, we'll make up a schedule
and start working on publicity.

We also need volunteers to help out with minding the donation jar, running
the sound system, assisting people loading in and out, etc.  Please
let me know if you can help!!
