Hi folks,
I'm taking the liberty of forwarding this for folks who are not at
the group a lot (like me!). Sounds like a good cause to me!
Good luck!

I'm sure most everyone on here knows about our grassroots campaign to
get Al into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and has seen our pleas for
volunteers on either WOWAY, our web site, or our MySpace, but I'm
just making the rounds on the Al Yahoo groups to make sure that no
fan has been left behind.

We've been circulating a petition around the country this year, on
which we hope to collect 10,000 signatures before sending it off to
the Rock Hall Foundation in New York. We've been coordinating our
efforts to coincide with dates on Al's current concert tour, having
volunteers bring the petition with them to shows. We have so far had
great success with this strategy, but we still have a ways to go
before we meet our signature goal.

We're quickly running out of dates on Al's tour, which means we're
also running out of opportunities to get as many signatures on this
year's Rock Hall petition as possible.

As of September 1, people have yet to volunteer to cover the
following upcoming shows....

September 7 Salt Lake City, UT Utah State Fair
September 8 Idaho Falls, ID Idaho Falls Civic Auditorium (Al's
1,000th show!)
September 9 Bozeman, MT Gallatin County Fairgrounds
September 11 Victoria, BC CAN Royal Theatre
September 13 Spokane, WA Spokane County Fair & Expo
September 19 New Bedford, MA Zeiterion Theatre
September 21 Ledyard, CT Foxwoods Resort Casino
October 3 Medicine Hat, AB Esplanade Arts & Heritage Centre
October 4 Lethbridge, AB ENMAX Centre
October 5 Lewiston, ID Nez Perce County Fairgrounds
October 6 Yakima, WA Central Washington State Fair
October 9 San Luis Obispo, CA Christopher Cohan Performing Arts Center
October 11 Fresno, CA The Big Fresno Fair
October 13 San Diego, CA House of Blues
October 16 Phoenix, AZ Arizona State Fair
October 17 Albuquerque, NM Santa Ana Star Center
October 20 Los Angeles, CA Greek Theatre

If you are going to any of the above concerts and are willing to help
out with the petition, please contact me through the campaign web
site (the URL is below) as soon as possible!

All we're asking is for someone to bring with them blank pages of the
Rock Hall petition and ask their fellow fans at the concert to sign
it. That's it! It couldn't be easier.

With each new show that gets called for, the easier it will be for
everyone campaigning all across the country...and likewise, if you
would like to volunteer for a concert that someone will already be
covering, you'll be helping them out immensely by splitting the
workload with them.

Even if all you can take with you is just a page or two, that's fine.
Every little bit helps. Don't be shy about volunteering. All we ask
is that you be committed to do whatever you promise.

The success of this campaign depends solely on how many people are
willing to help out and do what they're willing to do. This isn't a
passive campaign...we need to get out there and collect signatures if
we want this to work.

So please, if anyone's interested, or if there are any questions or
ideas, by all means contact me.

Let's get out there, folks, and help MAKE THE ROCK HALL "WEIRD!"
