I've been in the "planning stages" of organizing an EFF fundraiser show for a few months + have 2-3 bands/artists express interest verbally. (currently in the process of contacting EFF--and possible speakers/journalists-columnists) PM me if you might be interested in participating.

(in Columbus, venue TBA, late summer/fall)

I hope to make it a genre-busting extravaganza, with "artists" from a large cross-section of "interesting" music...
