Musicians and Artists Needed for Benefit Show

This just in from Imago Dei Artist Steve Plymale,

There is a cancer patient named Aly whom I work with at Doernbecher that is going to be having a benefit show at the Astoria Event Center on July 13 at 4PM. They have already gone through the Sparrow program and are about $5000 short of the needed funds. She has already had two bands drop out of the show. I am looking for some musicians who might be willing to play at this show. There will also be a silent auction that people could donate art or other items to. If you're interested in helping out with this event please contact me at splymale@gmail.com

Drummer Needed for Imaginary Airship

Imaginary Airship is currently seeking a drummer. We're a pretty down-tempo indie rock band, mellow at times but heavy at times, sort of spacey and experimental, but pretty. Influences are wide ranging but these are the main ones: Starflyer 59, Pedro the Lion, Beatles, Flaming Lips, Radiohead, Pink Floyd, etc. We'd like someone who has a good sense of dynamics, knowing when to be minimal and when to unleash. A solid, musical drummer with a good work ethic is more important to us than someone flashy. We are all believers, all drug free, all serious about working hard on our music and you should be too. You can hear us at www.myspace.com/imaginaryairship. If you play drums, like our influences and are ready to commit to practicing, playing a couple shows a month and possibly touring in the near future, contact Jonathan Moore at imaginaryairship@gmail.com.

Handmade Games Needed

This from Katie Sedivec:

Helloooo~

For this year's Vintage Carnival at Courtyard Senior Campus, I'm looking to slash costs by purchasing our own carnival games that we can reuse each year, rather than rent them. If you have a knack for cutting holes and pounding nails into plywood, and aren't too shabby with a paintbrush, or know artsy folk that are willing to tackle this project with you, you should contact me!

Games needed include:
Bean Bag Toss, Lollipop Tree, Ring Toss, Tic-tac-toe

Any other suggestions are welcome!

We can pay approximately $50-100 per game, which is highly negotiable, so it may be well worth your time!

Please pass this on to anyone who you think might be interested!

Photographers Needed

This from Katie Sedivec:

As many of you know I am in the process of hiring a "big band", circus performers, photographers, face painters, dancers, and a balloon artist for our annual Vintage Carnival coming up August 2nd from 11am-3pm at Courtyard Senior Campus, 6125 SE Division St.

Last year, we had one employee stationed with a point-and-shoot camera at a "vintage photo booth" with a backdrop and props. This year, I'd like to get a little more creative and reach out to the photography community in Portland to see if there are any photographers willing to take more creative shots of the Carnival in exchange for the chance to expand their portfolios, a complimentary lunch, free Hopworks beer, and a good time with people in your 'hood. The carnival is a family-friendly event open to the public with all proceeds benefitting the local Alzheimers Association.

In addition to the advertising benefits this event brings to the company I work for, it also can serve as a springboard for developing relationships between the residents here and families and individuals at Imago Dei.

If you, or someone you know is interested in contributing to this event, please let me know! We can discuss volunteer opportunities, or other compensation depending on the services you'd like to provide.

We're looking to recruit people for an amazing outreach ministry called Compassion SE. It’s a free medical clinic and social services fair on Saturday June 14.
