A free school is an informal, community-based method of education that puts emphasis on skill-sharing, experience, accessibility, and getting involved with others in your community.

This workshop is a primer/refresher on setting up shows in your basement. Things like booking touring and local bands, finding a suitable basement, promoting your event, and basic crowd control before, during and after the show. This is also the first workshop in a series regarding house shows, so stay in the loop!

Whether you’ve never done a show before and need the know-how, or you’re a seasoned expert and have something to share, come to No Fun House on Dec. 12th!

If you want to offer to teach a workshop, find out about workshops going on, or just hear more about free schools, organizational meetings are going to be held every other Monday at 5pm. The next meeting is Monday December 17th at 926 Davis. For more information, check out the facebook.
