Coordination for the event is happening through the wiki site. it's largely self (as in you) organized, strange but true. Read the wiki for more.

click on performers and venues to see the list. and add your band to the list of performers

You can send me the information or add it to the page yourself (it's a wiki, easy to edit if you do any myspace stuff, you'll figure it out quick, you just need to register and log in, it's free) or you can send me the information and i'll add it.



Participation by the Numbers

    * Step 1. Commit to playing and celebrate. Hooray! Put your name on the performer table on this page (see Performers & Venues), then choose one or a combination of the following options:
          o Option 1. Check the venues, there are several "street fair hosts" that will be blocking off a street (like Cool Cat Gallery) or city parks that will serve as hot spots where lots of things will be happening in a concentrated area. You should coordinate directly with the street fair host to play at any particular street fair. City parks with out a stage are open and first come first serve.
          o Option 2. Contact a local business and coordinate directly with them to play outside their shop on the sidewalk or inside (like second Saturday events). They can provide electricity for amps etc. Once it's confirmed, add it to the venue list on the wiki.
          o Option 3. Pick a corner or address, call it for yourself, mark it down in the wiki venue table, and then just show up. Scout locations for electrical outlets if you need amplification. Some covered bus stops have outlets, as do some lamp posts (like the ones along the river south of Old Sac.) Ask nicely before plugging in, and bring a surge protector!
               1.  Street locations not directly in front of a store front should be considered first come first serve.
               2.  It's nice to share, that's why you are participating, right?
          o Option 4. Just plan on being there and plop yourself down on any 'ol patch of open public ground and start playing.
          o Option 5. Roam around. Pick up and jam with any body else who's wandering around.
    * Step 2. Tell all your friends about the Fte de la Musique and encourage them to participate or spectate.
    * Step 3. Add us as a myspace friend to get our bulletins, http://myspace.com/sacfete

    * Step 5. Consider playing a larger role in the manifestation of this event and send a blank email to fete-discuss-subscribe@sacramentocacophony.org
