[nmglug] highmayhem festival plannings...

[joe at highmayhem.com]

Oh yeah,

I don't want to release music from the ongoing fest at the fest. People 
are already exposed to it because they are there. We are working on a 
massive releas of all music from the 2nd fest compressed probably MP3 
along with a full length audio cd mixed by DJ UV of most performances. 
People need to be exposed to other free music out there out side of High 
mayhem.

we are able to seek grants and of course donations. Grants are easier to 
get if it is for a specific project. If we had a budget and some wordage 
about an on line down loadable archive we could peruse a grant to fund 
it. Let bring this up at the next glug. it that tomorrow?
