When: FRIDAY, MARCH 20 from 7-10 pm
Where: Drawing Room

9) Knights Templar (Post-punk/Shoegaze): www.myspace.com/knightstemplar

spoken word & miscellaneous poetry readings...


plus...

Easel art/graffiti art, Silent Rave (bring your mp3 player and dance to the beat of your own ipod), Ryan Weber's decorate your own sugar cookie.

I think this is it for now, but if someone could make a facebook group, that would help immensely.

One idea for the flyer design was to have text that reads, "art atttack-ack-ack-ack, you oughtta know by now... (senior art students?) open mic night: face rippin' fun", with an image of a chimpanzee ripping through the flyer, wearing a beret and holding an artists' palette- with other text noting the event, that it's in support of the art seniors, the location, date/time and the other activities. If someone could design a flyer, or if anyone has another idea and will want to execute it, please do!


Also, I talked to a senior graphic design student the other day and she was under the impression that we still haven't decided on what mailer idea we liked as a class. Are we set on one/ should someone email professor Kabbash about it?

  3. ehhh yes, everyone is welcome to play. i just wanted to make sure that we would definitely have participants by booking these people.
    how long should we let each band/performer play? i was also thinking about letting people read writing/poetry as well. this will most likely turn into a free-for-all.

  4. it'd have to be like 20 minutes of playing with 10 minutes in between bands for open mic while the next band sets up. And that would still bring it from 7-10:30, with 7 bands.

    I think that less than 20 minutes is kind of a waste for the bands, they'll end up setting up as long as they're playing.
