JPF Home Page Forums Mid North US Chapter Message Boards Milwaukee Chapter Message Board Milwaukee Roadtrip Date: Wednesday, August 10th, 2005

Hi Folks,

Our official Roadtrip date for Milwaukee, WI is Wednesday, August 10th, 2005.

We will use this page to post all the pertinent information as it becomes available. The first thing we need is to find out how many of you would like to perform at this Showcase. Once we have a general idea of the interest and the types of acts performing, we can book the appropriate type/size venue and create a lineup.

If you'd like to sign up, please read the Roadtrip FAQ which will give you complete details on how the events work and how to sign up to participate.

Here's a link to the guidelines and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for this year's Roadtrips. Please take a look and if you still have questions, let us know.

If you have specific questions about THIS city and event, please post them here. If you have general questions on the Roadtrip, please post them on the FAQ page so that everyone may benefit from the answer.

We need at least 20 interested member/performers to book a showcase. We need at least 10 interested members to book a gathering/meeting/workshop and if we have less than 10 interested members in any city, we'll either meet for dinner with those interested or skip the city on this trip. So please sign up today!

Also, you are welcome to perform in any city at any event that happens, but please ONLY sign up if you are seriously planning to be there. Unannounced NO SHOWS can get you removed from any future showcase slots or opportunities, or placed last in the performance order.

SLR,

It's still pretty quiet so far, but we've had 3 sign up. It's all the way in mid august, so a lot of folks will wait until the date is closer.
