First, I have space on the College Park Campus available
for early evenings (no late nighters). It's free, and
as large, if not larger than the Black Cat space.

Second, there is a venue in Baltimore called the Library
Of Progress. It's a private warehouse space with a
sound system already setup. They do pay parties there.
All nighters okay.

Third, I have a small 700 Watt sound system, available for
free use.

Cheers,
Andrew

Does anyone have experience with setting up networks for hosting
out of town artists?

Do any networks/organizations exist to help touring artist with
room/board to keep down tour costs?

I would gladly give a couch for a touring artists to crash on, and
I would be interested in recieving the same favor when I decide to tour.

mylkoa,

This is good info... the CP space you mention, can you give more more description of that?

re: networks, there is this forum, also there is www.artistopia.com, www.unitedbands.com and also www.em411.com

A: I work for College Park as a maintenance man, and one of the buildings
I take care of is Tawes Theatre. I'm cool with the theatre manager Bill Brandewien, and he told me I could use one of his teaching spaces for gatherings. The room I;m talking about is used for drama rehersahls and instruction, it has (small) tiered seating for about 20 people, and it has a large open area about the size of the Black Cat back room. It's free, and parking is nearby (as well as metro). Only thing is, it's only for evenings, no all nighters.

wow

this actually sounds like a *great* place for a user group meeting followed by a performance?

All, are you listening?

when's the soonest we could do that?

Seems like there isn't one in the room.

Andrew, you mentioned you've got a 700 watt system, any other specs on that?

I've got a Bose system (the one with the tower speaker) w/ sub that I'd like to try out in a room that size, but don't have much in the way of a mixer

i can rent a PA speakers for cheap... pretty decent 600 watt system, no mixer though and i dont think we need one. i rented a pair a month ago for a gig. So i can provide that.

For sound we've got a few options, then.

So, can I propose that we in the Balto/Wash region meet at College Park sometime in the next few weeks for a user group meeting followed by some Livesets, which might be offered for the enjoyment of a roomful of audience

?

Andrew, not sure how far your permission to use the room extends: were you thinking along the lines of promoting this on the campus, maybe even charging a modest fee?

CP idea sounds cool, although I prefer to stick around b-more. I really want to check out that Bose tower system. That's the multi-direwctional right?

Yes. It can sound pretty good, I haven't exercised it as much as I'd like, so I'm looking forward to using it in a performance.

Is it too transparent a bump to note the obscure observation that this thread is the most widely viewed North American user-group-oriented "Local" forum thread?
