[RhythmAgogo] Upcoming Gigs, Practices, etc.

[Dave Olan]

On a safer side Neil, I think just tell them to do what they felt is okay as honorarium. With that we can be able to know or envisiage what we can charge people next time.

Regarding the SHCS fundraiser next Thursday, since I haven't heard back from any of you folks regarding payment, I am going to propose we donate our set, and just ask them to put us all on the guest list and comp us each one drink. Sound good?

Hi folks,
I hope you all had a good turkey day / indigenous resistance day, enjoying time with friends and/or family, or that you at least got a chance to recharge a bit.

First off, I'd like to take a moment to celebrate some new members joining the band: welcome Mesmer, Abraham, and Danish! I hope I've spelt your names right. It's great to have you in the group!

Upcoming Events
If you do not already have access to the Google Calendar that Carolyn created for the group, please email her and ask her to invite you. 

Here is a summary of upcoming events, both confirmed and merely proposed. Details and questions regarding a few specific events follow.
 

Gig (PROPOSED): TPP protest, 1 pm Oct. 17

Meeting (CONFIRMED): Trivia night planning, 6:30 pm Oct. 18

Gig (CONFIRMED): Puja, 8:30 pm Oct. 18

Next practice (CONFIRMED): 7 pm Oct. 19

Gig (CONFIRMED): SHCS fundraiser, 8:30 pm Oct. 22

Jam (CONFIRMED): Fermentation potluck, 7 pm Oct. 23

Open House (PROPOSED): 7 pm Oct. 26

Gig (PROPOSED): Prachiday, 6 pm Nov. 1

TPP Protest
This is a rally against the Trans-Pacific Partnership that the federal government just signed, and which many fear will have very negative economic, social, and environmental consequences for Canada and the world. The deal has not yet been ratified, and a new government may opt not to. Details are few at this point -- it's being planned last minute -- but I understand it will start somewhere downtown at 1 pm this coming Saturday. I will be working all day, and hence will not be able to be there. Marches and rallies can be more free-style, though, so they don't even necessarily require one band member to lead. Thoughts?

Sexual Health Centre Fundraiser

We are 
being offered compensation, and the chance to request whatever we see as
 appropriate. They would gladly accept a donated performance. Should we 
ask them for money, and if so, how much? This money stuff is not my 
forte, so any feedback would be enormously appreciated. Thanks!

Open House

Regarding the proposed open house, it is my thought to create a Facebook event invite and specifically invite friends we think may be interested in joining Rhythm Agogo to come out, see what we do, and hopefully join in -- try out our instruments, learn some rhythms, maybe even share things they know. Julie has okayed this. (Right, Julie?) Does anyone have any objections, or alternative suggestions? Or shall we just go for it?

Prachiday

The U of S India Students' Society have invited us to perform at their annual cultural event! The 6 pm set time is likely, but not fully confirmed. We can play whatever we want, but they've specifically asked about tabla and dhol players. Danish, would you be interested in doing a tabla solo for part of our time? And Sudhir, maybe we can get you doing a dhol solo or two in our version of Bhangra? We would have 6-7 minutes for our set, and be playing in front of the stage. Who's in?



Keep on drumming in the free world (and don't forget to vote, if you can),

Neil
