[Imc] Re: IMC/GRRRLFEST schedule finalization

Wed Mar 21 14:48:06 UTC 2001

Paul, Aimee--
Sarah Kanouse and I had talked about having a
'store-front-house-theater' given
by the School for Designing a Society at the IMC sometime that
weekend (april 27, 28, 29)---SOOOO, I'm wondering if that can be inserted
somehow without upstaging GRRRLFEST?? 

Are the three nights of performance repeated, or is each night
a different performance? 

Hmmmm, I just read through the e mail from
aimee--it looks like each night IS a different performance.

Ok, this might mean we do the store-front-house-theater at Anacroatan,
instead of the IMC, that weekend.

Or, does someone have another idea?
