email i got. u shud come

To the friends and frenemies and wunderkinds of the Providence Underclown,

 This summer RK Projects and City Effect (formerly Soft Approach) are renting a whole lot of Port-O-Potties, because...
On Saturday and Sunday, JUNE 25-26, in the parking lot of the Obscure Entertainment District in Olneyville, we will be hosting two days of magic and mayhem, madness and metaphysics, mysticism and maybe even a pinata. Starting in the early afternoon and continuing on until the not-so-late evening, the bulk of the event will consist of over 20 performances each day from your favorite local and not-so-local acts, alternating between two stages, with all the necessary paperwork to please both property owners and city officials. There will also be space for artist installations and vendors! Let this monstrous, unstoppable, parking lot party from the future henceforth be referred to as the Providence Underground Freak Fest Eco-Rave Shaman Slam aka PUFFERS (credits to Bikeminster Fuller).

We are already hard at work conjuring a killer lineup for this event. So far we have confirmations from world class acts, such as:
- Unity of Juggalos (ICP cover band from Woonsocket, RI)
- rageofcorey
- the three-legged dog that sometimes wanders through the parking lot at dusk
- Wayne the Building Manager sings Frank Sinatra
- Can Man finds twelve pretty-good-but-not-perfect recyclable cans in the dumpster
AND
- HEADLINING ACT: TONY CONRAD. see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Conrad (this is 100% confirmed. not a fucking joke!)

But, SERIOUSLY, we need YOUR HELP to turn this into a success! Consider this a CALL FOR performers, artists, vendors, people with cool ideas, volunteers, and donators of all kinds.

Apologies for the unnecessary amount of joke-slinging throughout this email; i assure you this happening is 100% real and is not really affiliated with rageofcorey in any tangible way. IT'S REAL; WE'RE GONNA DO IT; IT'S GONNA RULE; IT'LL END ON TIME FOR YOU TO GO TO THE OTHER SHOWS HAPPENING THAT NIGHT; THE HEADLINING ACTS WIPES HIS ASS WITH LAMONTE YOUNG'S TEARDROPS.

Though we will be charging a small door fee (soon to be announced), we will be relying largely on the effort and help of volunteers and people willing to donate useful items in order to make this event go off without a hitch. In terms of volunteers, we will need people to work the "door," runners, stage hands, builders or general handymen, people to do sound, and security, to list but a few. In terms of donate-able items, we will need some stuff for sound equipment, electrical crap, materials to build a second stage, etc.

"Hey Cordey, why do we have to give you guys all this stuff to do this thing?".... "Because you're band is gonna play it, and it's gonna be so life-fulfilling that afterward you'll wanna mail your landlord the ashes of your resume."

So! in order to help coordinate all the goings-on of this event, we will be holding a meeting and information session this Friday, June 10, at 8 p.m. at City Effect (formerly known as Soft Approach). Anybody who is curious or concerned or is looking to help us out in some shape or form or another, should attend this meeting or email me at bay (dot) bee (dot) aspirin (at) gmail with PUFFERS in the subject line. If you are curious about vending (but if it's about food or booze, forget it!), there will be space available for twenty 6-foot tables. All you have to do to get involved with vending is attend the meeting and email rk (dot projects (dot) editions (at) gmail (dot) com.

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO FORWARD THIS AS MUCH AS YOU WANT! HELP SPREAD THE WORD AND TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW! I love you all!

Thanks!
