Skillshare: Working Shows

Saturday, June 24th, 2006

Working shows is all about: what you do just before, during, and just after a show. Like what? Dealing with bands, taking money, selling membership cards, running the snax store (YES! we will have red vines once again!), dealing with “security issues”, paying bands at the end of the night, and more.   Open to anyone interested in helping run The Placebo.

Planning has begun for the Placebo’s annual two-day rock festival, Bummerfest, held this year on September 2nd and 3rd. But we can’t decide on a theme! Previous themes have been The Bummer of Love and Bummer School. If you have an idea for an awesome theme submit it to sweetness [at] theplacebo.org before midnight June 25th. Whoever submits the winning theme will receive two free two-day tickets to this year’s Bummerfest, a 40$ value. We look forward to hearing all your fresh ideas.
