[Imc] IMC FYI -- important dates for Indymedia supporters:

[Sascha Meinrath]

An interested community member has decided to put on a fundraiser at the
Highdive to benefit both the IMC and WEFT.  Below is the info -- also
please remember to come next Friday (February 8 at 6 p.m.) to the IMC's
FIRST ANNIVERSARY PARTY!!!  And finally, tomorrow (Sat. Feb 2) a group of
us will be clearing out the space behind the IMC (a 1200 square foot room)
and I am in desperate need of additional volunteers to help move things.
If you are free starting around 10a.m. please come to the IMC to help out.
BEvERages and food will be provided and I need all the help I can get.

Thanks to all,

--Sascha

Subject: WEFT/IMC benefit

Hello all -

Hope things are well. Here is the lineup of bands for the WEFT/IMC benefit
(incidentally, does anyone have - or want to have - a title for this other
than what we've been calling it?):

Date/time/venue: Sat. Feb. 16th @ The Highdive, 4 - 10 pm

4-5 Desafinado
5-6 Bass Case
6-7 Kuwahara/ Line Drive To Homer
7-8 Lanterna
8-9 The Beauty Shop
9-10 Tractor Kings(?)

Kuwahara and Line Drive To Homer will play together since some of the
members are the same. I don^t know if the Tractor Kings can play or not;
Lyle is still waiting to hear back from them, but according to him things
look good. We'll know by this weekend. We do have a couple of bands we
hope
to use as a back-up if things don't work out. Besides the Tractor Kings
all
other bands are confirmed.

My understanding is that one or more good people from the WEFT PR
committee
will handle printing (and hopefully distributing) flyers of the event -
although I'm sure they could use help with the flyering.

As for on-air promotion, I've asked bands to provide WEFT with CD's, if
possible (care of Mick - so if you find mysterious CD's from any of the
above bands in your box, Mick, don't worry). Those without CD's I've asked
to provide me with a description and comparable band so airshifters can
play
a similar tune and pull a "if you liked so and so be sure to come out to
the
benefit." I'll forward the descriptions to WEFT-A.

No word on whether info-booths can, should, or will be set up. I
personally
think it would be a good idea so people can take home information about
both
WEFT and the IMC. Volunteers?

How much do people think we should charge at the door?

Finally, could I please be sent a one paragraph summary/ mission statement
of the IMC and WEFT, respectively? I will use these for when I notify the
Octopus about the benefit. As mentioned, hopefully we'll get a critic's
pic.

Ok, that's it for now.

Paz,
