Hi all,
I want our efforts to be more organized and concentrated so I am
starting a email list.
All of you expressed interest in helping make this happen.
Please tell all your friends. I know the lecture will be some
knowledge and wisdom that will benefit some for life. For others it
will be a good lesson in Hip Hop.
If you know of others who are interested in helping, let me know and
I will add them.
--------------------------------------
Here is where we are at currently:
1. KRS and his crew will be coming through approximately the first
week in April
-KRS wants to do a lecture and a show (the lecture is
more important to him)
2. LECTURE:
-$1000 donated from CLA (College of Liberal Arts) for the
lecture
-Dr. Reason who is the instructor of MUS 108, Hip Hop
Appreciation has hooked this up
-Location:
-I was thinking MU East International Forum. This will cost
money. Dr. Reason says that getting a regular classroom lecture hall
would be free.
Dr. Reason, can you look into this more? Maybe the Milam lecture
hall? Or WNGR 151.
3. SHOW:
-Location: Impulse
-Currently talking to owners
-I think this would be a good venue because:
-real intimate and close up setting for KRS to get down
-the crowd that normally goes there should see what a real
MC is like
Please, your comments/ideas on this are welcomed
4. Nicole - I know you are involved with KBVR TV.
Would you be willing to coordinate taping the lecture and/or
possibly the show? The lecture has priority.
5. Mohammed - you reached out earlier and said you are affiliated
with a couple organizations that may be able to help with funding.
What do you need in order to go further with that?
--------------------------------------
Thanks everyone.
Do not feel like I am leading this, we can all be involved to the
fullest extent.
