[WXBH-Discuss] Free admission to Forecastle Festival for tabling volunteers

[John Hicks]

WXBH needs your help manning our table at Forecastle Festival this 
Friday and Saturday.

Forecastle is the major "alternative/progressive" (to coin a phrase) 
event of the year, and it's imperative that we have a presence there and 
spread the word about our new people's medium.

It's being held at the new Mellwood Arts Center this year and, as you 
probably know, lots of great bands and musicians will be performing. 
Artists will exhibit. And activists will be active. (The festival is 
themed on "music, arts, and activism".)

Brick House/WXBH will have a table there where we will be spreading the 
word and trying to get some people and organizations interested in 
producing programming.

We have two passes to trade about for booth volunteers and now need 
volunteers to use them. We're asking for two-hour shifts, although 
anything will be greatly appreciated.

If you can help, please let us know by either:
--replying to the list with availability and contact info
--calling Kristen Shelor at 458-9959
--writing Kristen at radioelectric at yahoo.com

(The small print: Please note that we have only two passes and they are 
for manning the table. You'll have to pass off your pass to whoever 
relieves you. In other word, the "Free passes" headline on this message 
was typical Madison Avenue hype to get your attention while we sell you 
something, in this case the idea of improving the world a little by 
helping to man/woman our table.)

Forecastle is the major "alternative/progressive" (to coin a phrase) 
event of the year, and it's imperative that we have a presence there and 
spread the word about our new people's medium. (Or did I say that already?)

Your help is greatly needed and will be greatly appreciated.

unfortunately is skipping town this weekend to attend [quite selflessly 
I assure you] a community radio conference in Wisconsin)
