924 GILMAN ST BENEFIT DAY in the east coast

[MikeCm]

i really hope this doesn't get moved because this is IMPORTANT,

i am pretty sure all of you if not most of you are aware of what 924 gilman st is, it was the diy punk space that green day started playing at and that many other band i love played at, like filth, neurosis, crimpshrine, jawbreaker etc

anyway i have been trying to be "active" and positive in this "scene" and i am organizing a 924 gilman st benefit show day, it will be on the same day sometime in june and will happen in philly, baltimore, new brunswick nj, and nyc, i have emailed MANY artists about this and i have been talking to some really awesome diy spaces.

IF ANYONE OF YOU WANT TO CONTRIBUTE TO THIS in a serious way then message me, all the money made at these shows will be sent to gilman st, maybe the artists will get some.

i have put together shows before but i have a feeling that this just might be the biggest event i have ever set up.

its going to take time and effort but in the end it will be fun!

i would really like if this topic can be pinned because it would be a damn shame to see gilman st shut down because of a rent problem, its just as important as ABC NO RIO and rip cbgbs, when venues like this close down it sucks, we need to have spaces like this, all ages spaces that have a positive attitude towards shows and the scene!

i will post again soon with the full line up, venues and dates
