ok, this is a shout out to you DJs out there. not sure if you know what Reclaim the Streets is, but heres the deal.
1) were having a street party this Saturday (noon starting at dolores park). its been well promoted, its unauthorized (illegal but we got your lawyer covered), its public, its open, its daytime, and its free. you should come chek it out, whether you play or not. 411 at www.reclaimsf.org.
now, we cant pay you anything if you wanna play.and if you do wanna perform you gotta know this is lo tek street shit, you dont have to be booked, and you might even be sharing time with DJs who spin all sorts of shit, possibly shit you dont even like, and youll be jacking into a mobile sound system with a 1/4" or 1/8" connection. you gota handle your own shit, and its gotta be mobile - think what you can carry in a backpack - a mix CD, an IPOD, laptop.
2) yeah anyway its not likely any of you can swing it this time around. and we know thats a lot of requirements. and that this is coming out of the blue at you. but some of us that have been organizing these parties want to branch out in terms of DJs and start making some connections with folks like you, get you out in the street, get your peoples out in the street with us, change up the flavor of these street parties so they got a little more appeal to many different types of folks. if you dont hook up with us this time, keep us in mind, keep an eye out for reclaim the streets, and well try to do a better job next time of reaching out to djs like you.
anyway, hope this isnt too out of left field. get in touch if you want more info or are interested in pursuing long term relationships with folks like us in reclaim the streets. the email is sfrts@riseup.net
