[Indigsol] Re: Benefit concert title- discussion!

[Andrew Crosby]

It is a sexy title indeed, although the Green Door may have problems with it
(I am not sure though)
Something less sexy - Folk Uranium and Folk Political Persecution or Folk
Uranium and Free Political Prisoners.... I don't know.
I'm happy with whatever, maybe we could pitch it to the Green Door and if
they have a problem with it we could just say meh and change it.  It
wouldn't overly be a big deal to me.  However if the group is set on it as a
title (which it doesn't appear to be) then I would have problems changing
it............. how about Folk Uranium and Folk the Dirty Pigs ?
To sum up, I guess that for me the issue is not targeting people-cops,
because I don't consider uniformed thugs people :D; the issue for me is
whether or not the host venue is cool with it.

Anyways, The Rough Sea (Christina and Justin's folk band are up for playing
Also, about the "playful imagery", I came across a wicked pic (I know
nothing about art) that I stole from my buddy's facebook.
I don't know if this pic is familiar to anyone or anything, but I liked it
(attached)
Cheers
