Do you like local music???
I am working with some friends on opening up a new cooperatively run music venue in the Indianapolis area. We are hitting the streets begging for donations to help with start up costs right now. This is where all of you come in. Any donation helps and will be greatly appreciated. We will be having a couple of donor appreciation shows which will be free for everyone (+1) that donated.
You can send donations to lastfridayatthedojo at gmail (dot) com
Here is the information I posted on another board.
Quote:
I am not going to post the location yet, but I can assure you that I fully believe there will not be noise issues. I wouldn't be considering it if I thought that is was going to be shut down.
The location is Downtown/near north side.
As far as how it will be managed, that is sort of up in the air.
I don't know what role the former Dojo crew will play, they might be slightly exhausted from the bullshit the were bombarded with.
So far it looks like Scott and myself will be doing most of the management duties. I am really looking for a treasurer type person to take care of the finances/making sure the utilities get paid on time and correctly documented.
I want this to be a community place, but with clearly defined leaders and procedures. All booking will be done through a single email address and no other way. There will be an online calendar.
The fee for rental of the facility will be 50 dollars or 40 percent, whichever is greater.
I do not want to be responsible for this forever. I want it to be like the 1511/ Secret Location. I want it to last even when the faces change.
This is meant to be a community space. If you have an even you want to hold there, you can. Fundraiser, dance party, poetry reading, circle jerk, corporate luncheons, ho down ETC. It belongs to anyone that claims a share and is active in operating the place in a positive manner.
There will be no drugs or alcohol allowed in the building. It will be all ages and racism/homophobia free. So if this sounds like something you are willing to help with/utilize in the future please donate. I will give you the address if you would like, just PM me.
