[BCN] People's Music Network Winter Gathering, 1/25-1/27/08

[Charlene]

Hi all,

A fabulous event is coming to our area next weekend, I'm planning to go to
the concert Friday, and for the Saturday events. You don't have to be a
musician, though most folks who go are, and there will be amazing
performances from local and national performers with both progressive
politics and wonderful chops! The link to the site is at the bottom of the
page.

Cost of the conference is quite reasonable and is sliding scale.
