THE 6th ANNUAL TRANSBAY SKRONKATHON BBQ

ACME Observatory and the Transbay Calendar are at it again. We're putting
on an all-day creative music and BBQ marathon at the 21 Grand gallery
in Oakland, CA, on Sunday, August 6, 2006, with wall-to-wall music inside
the gallery, hot grills and cold drinks in the alleyway outside.

As usual it's a free event. We'll take donations for the benefit of
the Transbay Creative Music Calendar, but we have no budget pay anybody.

The Skronkathon is always a great day of hanging out with a whole lot
of interesting, intelligent people like you, combined with a mess of
extremely attractive music like yours. And of course, the day is
always a perfect sunny summer Sunday.

So, we're looking for volunteers to play (and volunteers to help out,
see below.) If you make music that defies labels, breaks categories,
confounds expectations, raises eyebrows, provokes debate or otherwise
comes from left field (or outer space!), we want to hear from you.

If you are interested in performing please email td@... and include
the following information:

+ group and performers name
+ description of your music
+ how long you'd like to play for (minimum and maximum, please.)
+ range of preferred start times.

We want to present as many performers as possible, so please don't
propose playing in more than one group during the BBQ.

Although there is a PA, there will be minimal setup time, so please
keep in mind sound check will be "on the fly". It is a small space --
"unplugged" is an option to seriously consider...

Once we get an idea of the submissions, we'll try to put together a
logical schedule...

***********************************************************
* We also need volunteers to help out with minding *
* the donation jar, running the PA, helping people *
* load in and out and generally coordinating *
* things. Please let us know if you can help!!!!! *

Thanks for your interest,
