How It All Goes Down
Step 1: Performers RSVP.
There are two ways to perform:
- Preferred: Use the Performer RSVP form on the right side of this page to reserve your slot on a first-come-first-served basis. RSVPing gives your preferred time placement and accomodations.
- Slightly lame: just show up with your gear, ready to play. You will be the first to get bumped, though, so just be cool and RSVP ahead of time!/li>
Note: If you have special requirements–such as a giant inflatable bacon balloon–you must RSVP. See one of the organizers when you arrive to be put on the schedule.
Step 2: Bring your shizzle.
You do not need to bring your own PA system: a "stage" area and PA system will be provided. Special notes:
- Guitarists/Keyboardists: you are welcome to bring your amp, but will preferably plug in directly to the PA without one. If you do bring your own amp we may not have time to mic it properly, so don't get all pissy if the recordings don't work out.
- Drummers: Do not plan on a house kit being available, or you may end up banging on paint cans and a trash can lid.
- Comedians: Keep in mind that there may or may not be younger ears present… just sayin'. Oh and please don't suck.
Step 3: Be awesome.
Non-RSVP'd individuals will be put on stage in roughly a first-come, first-served basis as time permits, though time will be reserved for ad hoc creativity. Understand that a certain level of chaos is expected at Reopen Phoenix, so please be cool, Hunny Bunny, and try to roll with whatever unexpected schedule can (and will) occur.
Your performance will probably be recorded in both audio and video formats, and may or may not be published to the Internet afterwards, based on our discretion and legal compliance.
RSVP'd individuals are allocated 15 minutes or 3 songs–whichever is sooner–of stage time. Non-RSVP'd individuals may be bumped, cut short, or be asked to share the stage with other people like that old ex-girlfriend. *awkward* (Hint: If you haven't figured it out already, we want all performers to RSVP.)
