Do you want another unforgettable honk in 2008?

Well now's the time to help us fund this street festival of socially
and politically activist brass bands from around the world, to be
held Columbus Day weekend, October 10-12, 2008.

The HONK! Festival is a non-profit, grassroots event, and although we
are actively seeking grant money from various organizations, we
depend primarily on donations to pay our expenses. We're hoping to
include 20 bands this year, and we're looking at a budget of around
$50,000, mostly to help offset travel expenses, food, promotion, and
venue rentals. That's a lot of money, and we need your help to make
it happen.

On Sunday March 30th, 6-9 pm, we will throw a fundraising party
at an awesome, little-known space in Somerville, featuring:

* the raucous, NOLA sounds of the Second Line Social Aid & Pleasure
Society Brass Band, and a chance to win them for a future party of
your choice

* the uplifting, dance-inducing, ethiogroove music of Debo band

* the new film by Olivier Asselin, Honk You Very Much, based on last
year's festival

* a showing of the 3-DVD set Return of HONK! by our friends at SCAT TV

* opportunities to support HONK! through the purchase of very very
cool, unique and collectible HONK! buttons

* delicious food donated by fine local restaurants

* possible special appearance by comedian and political satirist Jimmy Tingle

Come join our party, and help us do what it takes to make this unique
and inspiring event return again in 2008!
