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.
