March 1 ArtHop

Hello Rogue Performers,

Here's ANOTHER chance to play at ArtHop (Thursday, March 1st) to promote your show.

Would you like to play a short (approx.10 minute)teaser of your show at
Java Wava
Salon 637 or
Ashtree Studios?

Arthop night brings a lot of foot traffic to these areas and these places have
graciously opened their doors for this crazy Rogue take-over of the
world.The slots run from 5:30pm-8:00pm[after which we all meet for the big Rogue Opening Party overat Full Circle Brewery for which I previously emailed you and which has been booked full already (list below)--that party runs from7:15-10:15pm

If you wish to play Java Wava, Salon 637 or Ashtree studios, contact the
individual hosts below. They are scheduling their venues independently without consulting
one another.

Who're the host/contact persons?
for Java Wava, it's Renee email her at: renee@roguefestival.com
for Salon 637 it's Jag email him at: jaguarbennett@gmail.com
for Ashtree Studios it's Tony email him at: aimper1@aol.com

Please contact them individually and please do not email the bunch ofthem in one
email and say"sign me up wherever I fit" or something. Pick a place and
sign up.If you have questions aboutthe venues, you are free to ask me or them. Info/directions to these venues can actuallybe found at roguefestival.com

Bring flyers! Meet fellow Rogue-ers. This is a great way to try and whip-up enthusiasm
for your show amongst folks that, proven by the fact that they are OUT, are people that DO go out and see stuff.

*******What are the rules?**********

Make yourself very 'plug in and play' ...some of the venues are running performers on tight every-15-minute schedules, and time adjusting your laser light show will only take away from your performance time.This evening...we're all going very....how do you say? "Commando".....very very simple P.A. andmaximum two mics----if you are a dance troupe,bring a boombox...this will be very low tech, but HECKA-fun!

******Can I play more than one spot?*******

It's tricky, but can be done. My suggestion? When you contact venue #1put 'please put me on early, I'm playing somewhere else later' and theother place....visa versa. OK, I'm stepping out of the loop on this one gang, my sphere ofresponsibility for this night will beat Full Circle for the Rogue Kick-Off Party (from 7:15-10:15pm) andwho's signed up to play at this one?

Take special note of your spot on the list if you're on the following list and trying to squeeze in another spot at the venues mentioned above.
Jose Ibarra is first at 7:15.

Mainstagers! Kick Off

Blake said it so well, so I took what he said! ;-)

Yesirreeee!
Your chance to do a mini-performance...a teaser...to get folks worked up to see your show!I'm hosting the party over at Full Circle Brewery--the place that the party will end up
and grow to full fruition. Other venues are hosting bits earlier in the Art Hop Evening.

What I need from YOU folks is a "Yes, I wanna perform that evening at Full Circle Brewery
for about 8-12 minutes between 7-9pm"
As soon as we're full up, I'll post the schedule at roguefestival.com under "updates" and email it out on this list. The other venues are going to run approx. 5:30 - 8pm. The 'hosts' from the other spots for that night...ahstree,veni's, etc. will contact you soon.
So get signed up with me so you know your time, and then other 'hosts' will contact you and you can do a mini-tour of the city that night----just allow enough time between each engagement----I'm sure our watches will not be perfectly synchronized. Yes, if you are a musician, come and do a song; if you are a dancer come and do a dance; if you----well, you get the picture.
Write back quick!!

Also, head on over to the Rogue website, www.roguefestival.com and see what M has been doing. He's been google-eyed for the last few weeks, but you as a performer have your own link on the Rogue website. Check out the updates page and see what's going on and all th info you'll need. We are trying to make everything as easy as possible, so please let me know if I can help you out in any way.

Housing: If you have not yet arranged housing and have something set, please let me know ASAP and I'll talk with Sarah about it.

I'll be getting a Tech Schedule out to everyone letting you know specific times, if you have not set something specific with me already, please let me know when we can tech and I'll make sure that happens! :-)

Rogue shirts are out and about and performers get them for $10! :-) johnjordan@roguefestival.com has more information so get your order in soon to have the shirts available upon arrival! :-)

I thin kthat's it. I'm working on getting the pictures taken care of, we have a meeting change and I haven't had a chance to get them... but I will... I am now determined and I'll raise hell for what I want! ;-) TeeHeeHee

Ciao!
