I'll be attending the event and I'd certainly be interested in
partaking.
Thanks!

Hi Collective,
Very cool opp has come our way that we will be a part of. The
CSC will be leading the singer/songwriter song circle on Saturday afternoon and
we can have a booth similiar to what we do at Fox Valley. Two Way
Street is a legendary part of the local folk music scene and it's a great
honor to be part of their celebration. We don't have all the details at
this time, but get back if you'd like to be part of the it. I definitely
recommend staying for the concert too.
John
Announcement
The Two Way Street Coffee House in Downers Grove will be
celebrating its 40th
Anniversary on Saturday
afternoon and evening, November 6, 2010. We’d
like CSC to be a part of this celebration! Can you please communicate this
to the CSC folks and see if the organization would like to participate? Perhaps
they could lead our singer-songwriter circle?
We’re celebrating not only 40
years of weekly shows at the Two Way Street, but our participation in the larger
Chicago-area music community, of which we are both a part. Thus, we hope to
showcase the whole “folk” community, and need your help.
We’re planning an
afternoon (probably 2:00 until
6:30pm) of community participation activities throughout our
building, including numerous (acoustic) jam sessions (e.g., old time, bluegrass,
Irish/Celtic, peace & justice, etc.), a sing-around, singer-songwriter
circle, an old time barn dance, open mike, a performer CD and merchandise
boutique, fast food sales and more!
And then in the evening at 7:30,
we’ll present an all-star concert (in the church auditorium) featuring artists
Mark Dvorak, Small Potatoes, Patchouli, and Kat Eggleston & Kate MacLeod. (Note:
Rich Warren and WFMT-FM 98.7 will be on-site and will broadcast portions
of this concert live!)
How can you participate? At a minimum, we’d
like you to set up a display in our high-traffic Info Expo showcasing what you
do in our music community. (We’ll provide tables for displays.) This area will
be open to our guests all afternoon and evening.
In addition, we’ll offer
you the opportunity to take over one of our many rooms during the afternoon (for
an hour or more, as space and time allow) to hold a concert/jam/song
circle/workshop or whatever you like! Let your imagination run wild! You can
advertize your business, activities, concerts, etc. Your organization’s name
will be on the room and in the program for that time slot.
In order to
defray our expenses, we’ll be asking an admission donation, but, we’ll be
keeping it inexpensive in keeping with the Two Way Street’s tradition! (Probably
$5 for the afternoon, $10 for the evening concert, with a discounted combined
all-day ticket).
