Hey Everyone-

Good meeting tonight! Thanks to all who attended.

Here are some notes:

Acoustic Show

We are planning a small acoustic show that will be primarily used as a promotional tool, leading up to our big event. Tim, please keep us updated with regards to B.Good! It would be best if this happened during the first or second week of April (approx. 2 weeks before main event). We need to choose about 5 acts for this show, and one of them will play at the larger event.

Acts that we were considering at the meeting:

- Johnny Nicholson http://www.myspace.com/johnnynicholson
- Margaret Glaspy http://www.myspace.com/margaretglaspy
- Tom Howie http://www.myspace.com/tomhowie
- Emily Elbert http://www.myspace.com/emilyelbert
- Ali McGinley http://www.myspace.com/alimcginley

I'd like each of you to reach out to one of these artists to see if they are interested in possibly being a part of this. Please read below and reach out to the act assigned to you, and let us know what the response is by posting it on here.

Nicky - Johnny Nicholson
Tara Colella - Ali McGinley
Tim - Emily Elbert
Tara Comes - Tom Howie
Chris - Margaret Glaspy

Main Event

Target date for this to happen is towards the end of April, preferably around the 23rd - 26. We agreed that we would have 5 total acts- headliner, support, and 3 others. We'd like a headliner that draws so that they can play the Actoustic show, but we also are not looking to pay and do want to stay within the present Berklee community. We discussed involving the following acts:

- Sincerely the Management http://www.myspace.com/sincerelythemanagement
- Dopapod http://www.myspace.com/dopapod
- People's Republic http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewProfile&friendID=379050447
- Jennah Bell http://www.myspace.com/jennahbell
- Blue Pages http://www.myspace.com/thebluepagesmusic
- Verb, Adjective, the Noun http://www.myspace.com/verbtheadjectivenounn


Please reach out to the act that is listed next to your name.

- Sincerely the Management - Tara Colella
- Dopapod - Nicky
- People's Republic - Tara Colella
- Jennah Bell - Jessie
- Blue Pages - Tim
- Verb, Adjective, the Noun - Tex

***Any other bands that you would like to reach out to, please do. I know we mentioned more names at the meeting, but these were the ones I wrote down.

Bake Sale

I am looking into securing the mezzanine, and possibly another location for March 27. I will keep you updated on this.

Next Week 3/3

As you know, next week Marty will be attending the meeting. He is cancelling his class so that he can meet with us, so let's make it worth his while. Everyone needs to do their part!

Miscellaneous

- It would be great if we had a few sponsors for this. Everyone please look into local businesses and get their contact info so that we can begin that process. If they decide to give gift certificates, etc. they can always be used as door prizes and an extra incentive for people to come.

- We need to choose a solid headlining act.

- Let's start thinking about the best ways to market this


Please post all of your thoughts and progress!

Thanks,

JW

Meeting - 2/24

Hey Everyone-

I have 939 looking into the availability of the Red Room for us. They think they will have an answer by the end of the week, so let's keep our fingers crossed. I'd really like to get this Coffee House show together.

We are meeting at 6PM tonight, as usual, so please check out the bands that were posted... we need to get focused if we want this to happen!

Jaxon Boom

Here's another band I've been recording who are just getting started. These are all live recordings on the myspace, except for the vox being overdubbed. So you basically know what you'd be getting live on stage.
