[CIMC-working] [Fwd: [Imc-chicago] tabling at local rock concert]

Mon, 24 Feb 2003 21:39:13 -0800

Hey Christine,

Already contacted CCAWR, they're in.  I got an email from Joliet ARA, they 
want to table, don't know if that's the same as Chicago ARA.  They can 
coordinate together if they want.  And hell, we don't have that fourth spot 
filled, so let's invite FNB too.  I'll email the address below, but if you 
see them please extend the same offer, time's getting short.

Here's the scoop.

We're going to have one table with room for four, and we're trying to get 
as many organizations represented as we can. Which probably means 4 groups 
of 1 person apiece. Each group should probably have a small sign to 
identify themselves from the crowd.

The shows are going to be Feb 26-7 at the Riviera Theater. You're going to 
have to contact one of the promoters. Here's his contact info.

KEVIN LYNCH
847-863-5869
CHINGER9@ATTBI.COM

Tell him that you're working at the political table at the Audioslave show, 
or maybe call it the Axis of Justice table (that's the official name). If 
he doesn't know what you're talking about, or if he gives you trouble, call 
this guy, he's Audioslave's tour manager:

Chris Kansy
504-473-2442
ckansy@aol.com

I imagine they're going to tell you to get there an hour before doors open 
to set up, which will probably be around 5 or 6pm.

Any problems or questions, give me a call. If you have troubles right near 
showtime, call Chris Kansy instead of me. He'll be at the venue, but I'll 
be here in Los Angeles.

Thanks for the help,

Jake.
