			REGIONAL MUSIC PROMOTERS (9/8/92)

Hi, we are volunteers with the Ohio State University Student Events Committee,
the Wexner Center Student Association and a few other groups that organize 
musical events.  We are now expanding beyond our immediate region when 
promoting shows.  The electronic media based Alternative Media Alternative 
Music (AMAM) is the result of this expansion.  

AMAM is a volunteer based non-profit effort aimed at promoting both live and 
recorded music by local/independent bands on a larger regional level.  (Note: 
"local" and "independent" are used to stress that this is not aimed at major 
acts, but we wouldn't refuse any such inquiries either!)  Using newsgroups 
and e-mail to organize such a project seems like a novel and inexpensive, yet 
dependable and practical, method:  No enormous long distance phone bills, no 
endless games of "telephone-tag", and easily written, stored, printed and 
replicated documentation.

We have already compiled preliminary directories of representatives, DJ's and 
bands across North America.  We are now recruiting additional volunteers 
interested in finding out more about their regional music scene and this 
project.  If this sounds like you or someone you know, let us know.
