Subject: RE: Mystic Sea Music Festival Fundraiser Jan 3, 2009
Given the present economic situation it is going to more and more difficult to secure funding projects such as this.
We have an open date at The Borderline, Sunday, April 19th.
I would be willing to offer our facilities for that day if some of the musicians who regularly perform at Mystic would be willing to offer their services pro bono. We can have a pre-Mystic festival concert with all the proceeds going towards defraying the festival expenses. Instead of the house venue, I can secure the New City Volunteer Ambulance Corps. hall with a 90 person seating capacity. We can even video the entire event for individual sale or public broadcast the proceeds of which would also go towards the cause. Being close to NYC and public transportation, I think that we could draw a respectable crowd.
