Ya, so, I think it's pretty awesome that URI is having a 2 DAY MUSIC FESTIVAL at URI THIS WEEKEND. At which bands like THE MISFITS, Sage Francis and some really good local bands are playing. Really good. (Stefan Couture and the CFO is playing too, for my LaSallian friends out there). Anyway. I'm helping out with this thing, and the people who have been working on this for OVER A YEAR just found out that they're losing money, a lot. No one is buying tickets. I understand that the price, $35 non student, $19.50 students seems daunting, but when you THINK about it, it isn't really that bad. Usually you pay $10-$15 to see ONE band you like at Lupos. This is TWO DAYS OF GOOD, SOLID MUSIC. They didn't ask just anyone to play this, man. It's actually a week long event what with film festivals and art exhibits as well. Really, twenty dollars is a good investment, it'll be something to do for two whole days. And when you think about it, $20 for two days of music isnt bad when you consider a SHOT of SMIRNOFF at a bar is $6.50!!!! (ridiculous...and, never again)
So yes, Living Proof people. I didn't come up with the name but I do like the idea, a lot. Spend $20 for two days of fun in the sun, good music, good vibes, lots of people, and remember the money is benefiting the arts and art education in the northeast. I'm pretty sure all of you reading this have benefited in someway from art education in your school. Also, I HAVE TICKETS that I may be able to sell ANYONE at student price, I'm not sure, but ya, just give Ashley a nice juicy twenty and receive fifty cents and A BIG, GIANT, WARM, CUDDLY HUG as well (I'm an amazing hug giver).
And the Ashley smile. Gotta have the smile.
Living Proof, April 22-23, Sat-Sun.
Peace.
