Okay, all 5 of you readers, I’m officially starting to panic. The fundraiser concert at Holy Moly is one week from today, and I have no frickin’ idea how many people are going to show up. I’ve dropped off flyers, I’ve posted announcements on craigslist and spammed musicians whose email addresses were available on the web.
Here is the gist: they’re young, they’re talented, they’re bound for musical glory. It’s just a matter of time before they “break out.” And you can see them in an intimate setting, with “bright” acoustics, with a bite of dessert and a chance to chat with them after the concert.

Tickets: $12.00 senior/students/advance, $15.00 at the door.
I haven’t nagged very many of my family and friends about coming because the weekend that we’ve picked is a busy one (but of course, I didn’t know that when it was first booked). And frankly, asking some of them to come to a church for a concert is kind of… presumptuous on my part.
This is the third concert by Synergy we’ve hosted, and I thought it was going to get easier to get the word out each time… but it’s harder, for some reason. I’ve sent out emails to musicians, I’ve left fliers at music stores, coffee shops, and any store with a community bulletin board, I’ve mailed comp tickets to music teachers. Now all that remains is to finish calling everyone in the Holy Moly directory to get an RSVP list, get a key to the church, arrange for an extra cleaning of the sanctuary, and hope for a good turnout.
So that’s what’s been on my mind the last few months, trying to get this event publicized and make it a success. It feels weird to say this, but it’s in God’s hands.
Yeesh, what a weird church-ladyish thing to say, but [Edith Ann mode] that’s the truuuuthphphpbbthphttt.[/Edith Ann mode]
