Radio Series and Live Performers

A week ago from today, Katie and I attended the CCBB meeting to show our face in the community and let them know about our event.  We wanted to go and talk to community members from Brooklyn to let them voice their opinions and concerns with the event.  One lady, our very own Pat Wills voiced a concern about parking at the 2640 space.  One thing we should think about is maybe renting out a lot, or putting directions about where parking might be available on our Facebook page and on some of the promotional materials.  Other than that the meeting went pretty well and our feedback was apparently more positive than it had been in Curtis Bay.

Another part of the process that is being worked out right now is the radio series.  As we stand, Wednesday is almost complete.  Shard'a is writing the outro, and I just completed the introduction.  The outro should help segway into Thursdays material and Shard'a will keep that in mind.  Jonni will be 'prettying' up the piece and it should be complete by the end of the week.  Once the radio series is finalized I can focus more on the event planning aspect of the project.

On that front, we've officially gotten our first community member to agree to perform at the event.  The group Double Impact, is a high school sister duo, managed by their father and they've have agreed to play from 6-630. Were waiting to hear back from Baby Boy, another local performer.  Its important to have community members perform at the event because it brings more members to the event and its another way to connect our event to the community.  As of now we have 5 acts playing.  Basically were allotting 30 minutes for the first 4 acts, and 45 minutes for the two band acts, giving them more time for set-up and break down.   The tentative line-up is: Jenny, Jason Reid, Double Impact, Baby Boy (not confirmed), Haint Blue, and Bobby E. Lee and the Sympathizers to finish off the evening.  The next step is to communicate with the rest of the group about an actual schedule. Time has to be allotted for announcements including raffle winners, silent auction winners, and the showing of our indiegogo video. Once I confirm with the rest of the group the schedule I can ask the bands for a set-list.
