APARTMENT E’S GENERAL RULE FOR  “FREE” ARTS AND MUSIC EVENTS: WHEN THERE IS A SUGGESTED DONATION ON THE STAGE OR AT THE DOOR. PAY IT GLADLY, KNOWING THAT IT NORMALLY GOES DIRECTLY TO THE PERFORMERS, OR TO THE ORGANIZATION HOSTING THE EVENT.

IF THE DOOR CHARGE GOES TO THE VENUE, ASK THE MANAGER WHY? AND THEN BOYCOTT THAT LOCAL BUSINESS, BECAUSE THEY USUALLY ARE NOT GENEROUS FOLKS, AND PROBABLY ARE GREEDY AS WELL. SHARING A PERCENTAGE OF THE DOOR IS FINE IF THE PERFORMERS GET THE BIGGER PERCENTAGE.. PRE-EVENT WRITTEN AND SIGNED CONTRACTS ARE USUALLY A SMART THING.

LOCAL ORIGINAL THINGS NEED TO BE MORE TREASURED AND APPRECIATED, AND APARTMENT E HAS ALWAYS HAD THIS AS A MAJOR GOAL

WHEN THERE IS NO DOOR CHARGE, ANY DONATION OF FUNDS FROM THE AUDIENCE OR ATTENDEES (THAT’S YOU) FOR THE PERFORMERS IS APPRECIATED GREATLY AND THE “NORM” IN OTHER CITIES.

PURCHASE MERCHANDISE BOOKS, CHAP-BOOKS, CD’S, HANDMADE GOODS, ARTWORK, CRAFTS, ETC. WHEN THEY ARE AVAILABLE FROM THE ARTISTS.

THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO SHOW YOUR APPRECIATION FOR LOCAL ORIGINAL ANYTHING, AND IN TURN THE “ARTISTS” WILL PRODUCE MORE IN THE FUTURE. THUS: IMPROVING YOUR ARTISTIC EXPERIENCE OVERALL IN A CITY THAT OTHERWISE WOULD NOT HAVE AS MUCH ART AND MUSIC.

 THE FEELING YOU GET FROM OWNING AN ORIGINAL PIECE OF ART, OR “FIRST PRESSING OR PRINTING” OF A NEW GROUP’S MUSIC, OR A SIGNED COPY OF A BOOK FROM A PUBLISHED AUTHOR, OR A ONE-OF-A-KIND PIECE OF ANYTHING, FROM THE ACTUAL CREATOR OF IT!

 MAKES YOU HAPPY IN YOUR HEART.

NOW GO CREATE SOMETHING YOURSELF AND THEN ASK US TO DONATE TO YOUR LOCAL CAUSE, AND SEND US FLYERS OF YOUR EVENTS NOW.

WE WILL BE THERE!
