Hi Folks,
We are starting to plan our dates for the 2005 Just Plain Folks Roadtrips. Before we add cities, we need to know there are enough local/area members to justify setting up a local showcase and/or meeting. To justify a showcase, we generally require at least 20 interested artists to perform. (Our Roadtrip shows usually average 30-40 performers per show in most cities). To justify a meeting or Roadtrip stop of any kind, we need no less than 10 members interested, which is also the minimum number to have a local chapter. If you'd like us to stop in this area in 2005, please post a note here and let us know. If there's enough interest indicated, we will add a stop. We will be filming a documentary this year on the road and will include a few interviews of local artists as we tour, so if you want us to include your music scene, now is the time to say hi and speak up!
Brian

Raven,
Well.. if I can route myself somewhere nearby Indianapolis this year, it would be great. But you know it's so hard for me to get to Indy from where I live that it's always a struggle.
Brian
PS: Give me a call.. have an interesting story for you.

<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2"> Maybe we can work something in with the traveling meetings that we are talking about? </font> Hmm... Traveling Meetings. If one barrier to promotion in a large city (Indianapolis) is the cost of advertising, certainly that should be less so in small towns. Might we look at doing showcases in surrounding areas, to attract new members to Indianapolis events? Just a thought. Emmit Sycamore

I'd like to see us get a few successful local events under our belt before doing regional events.

Based on our response when we ran the monthly showcase and when we did the aniversary show, I would say it is not a problem to atract regional artists for that sort of thing.
The Challenge has been to get people to show up for a meeting.
I think that if some sort of performance was involved that might change somewhat. But I have never personally been to anything like that (meeting and performance - unless name brand performer) that really seemed to work all that well.
