Thanks, Jeff. I think. :)=20
Before getting locked in to one venue or another, let's find out from Rick =
if Utah is okay with 4/27. I just don't think it would be a very good =
idea to make it much later than that because of the Intermountain date, =
which would likely draw from the same audience. If Utah is cool with 4/27, =
then there's no conflict, right? Surely we can find a creative solution =
to the conflicting date if he can't do it 4/27.

Your graciousness is nothing less than I would have expected. However, =
as I indicated, we can look for space elsewhere. Not a problem. =20

Subject: RE: [Discuss] Utah Phillips
Utah Phillips does not do many shows for health reasons, and has a huge =
following here, Jeff. I am not interested in battling you or the Green =
Party over who gets the "rights" to claim a date that apparently has not =
been finalized by either group. As far as I'm concerned, if Utah wants to =
play here, he can play here on his time and terms - and we should find a =
way to do it in the best setting for him. Utah has, over the years, =
boosted the Underground Gardens as a unique place - and he is a great =
supporter of KFCF. I would presume he very much likes the prospect of =
performing there. =20
Hopefully April 27 will be fine with him and with Andre. If it's going to =
put you in the middle of a catfight for the space on May 4th, then I will =
recommend April 27.=20
>>> jeffrey.eisinger@sba.gov 01/15/02 09:51AM >>>
Well, Andre called us and asked if he could host the event on the =
Saturday evening of our convention. I have made trips out there only to =
find a locked gate and been playing phone tag for a week to discuss it =
with him. Jemmy Bluestein has already offered to bring in the musical =
entertainment from the bay area. Plus, because we have people who will =
have to be travelling home on Sunday to various parts of the state, we =
have chosen to avoid the mother's day weekend. I really dont see that =
being an issue for the local crowd which would show up for a FFCF/KFCF =
fundraiser. =20
However, if there is no other date that FFCF/KFCF can schedule this =
event, we will try to find another location.....maybe a Denny's banquet =
room...to show off all that Fresno has to offer. Not a problem. =20

Um, Jeff....which WE are you representing in this case? =20
WE...the Fresno Free College Foundation...have an offer from Utah Phillips =
on the table and WE have to find a date, and frankly I'm not going to =
worry a whole heck of a lot about deferring to what the Green Party may or =
may not do.=20
If we want to make arrangements around each other, fine. Great, even. =
Perhaps they can be incorporated somehow if there's a direct conflict over =
the Underground Gardens. I'm happy to take Green Party money for the =
concert if the convention is during the day and Utah can be scheduled in =
the evening. Let's see what can be worked out. I don't think this should =
bump up too closely with the Intermountain Nursery event. May 4 would be =
my preference, unless Utah is willing to do it, say, April 27. Then we can =
avoid conflict. (Easter is March 31, btw, no conflict there!)
Thoughts?

More FYI: We (the Green Party) are trying to avoid having our event on =
the weekend of 5/11&12 because its Mothers Day and we did not want people =
to be traveling home from Fresno when they should be all taking their moms =
to Denny's or wherever.

And of course May 25-27 is Memorial Day weekend; probably not a good =
choice. That leaves May 4, 11, and 18. Guess the Underground Gardens =
will make the call on the 4th. =20

May 1 is a Wednesday. FYI, the Green Party is exploring use of the =
Gardens on May 4 to host a party for the California Green Party convention =
that we are planning to host that weekend. I have had difficulty getting =
in touch with Andre to nail this down however.
