[BCN] housing request for People's Music Network this weekend

[traderjoanne]

Hi folks,

  The organizers of this event (see below) are looking for places to house people from out of town, this Friday and Saturday nights.  All meals are included in the Gathering registration, so it's just a matter of providing a place to sleep and perhaps a shower.  Many folks will have come by car and can provide their own transportation to and from, so a coop need not be on the T to be a good host site, but the event locations are T-accessible.
   
  PMN folks are in general a terrific bunch -- we had about 10 here at The Big Top the last time the weekend was held in Boston and it was fun.  Doesn't have to be a bed -- we filled up our living room floor!
   
  If your house is able to offer one or more people a place to crash, please contact the housing coordinator for this event, Martha Older, at 
   
  Mrthldr at aol.com  AND  active at ureach.com  -- one of her emails sometimes messes up.
   
  If you have questions or would rather talk directly to another cooper, feel free to email or to call me at 617-265-7479.  Thanks.

  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.
