[Nonsequitur] it's official: We have a venue!

[Steve Peters]

Greetings all,

We are pleased to announce that Nonsequitur has signed an agreement 
with Historic Seattle to use the Chapel at the Good Shepherd Center in 
Wallingford as our new venue for adventurous music and sound art 
(photos at http://nseqspace.blogspot.com), as well as other 
performances of an experimental nature. (For events that fall outside 
of our scope, the space can be rented from Historic Seattle.)

Nonsequitur will have use of the Chapel ten times per month. The 
remaining eight or nine uses are available for other 
organizations/artists to present their own events that are related to 
our mission. We have insurance that covers audience and performers on 
any of these ten nights.

The lease goes into effect on March 15, so we are ready to begin 
booking your events. Dates are available on a first come, first served 
basis. Organizations and artists interested in using the space should 
contact me directly: nonseq at drizzle.com or 206-789-1939.

Knowing that much of the work we all present often has a small 
audience, we want to make the space as affordable as possible. The rate 
policy will be as follows: Nonsequitur will take 20% of the door, but 
only if the door is over $200. If your ticket sales are less than $200, 
we will take nothing. The most we will ever take is $250 per use, which 
is what the space costs us.

We can send out event announcements to this list, but presenters will 
be responsible for all other promotion for their shows.

Lighting equipment has been ordered, and sound equipment will be 
ordered shortly. We are also working on a backstage curtain, adjustable 
acoustic treatments, and a piano (if anyone has a line on a good 7' + 
grand piano, let me know).

The acoustics are quite reverberant and the room sounds beautiful for 
unamplified sound, but amplified music and drum sets may be more 
problematic until the backstage curtain and (removable) acoustic panels 
are in.

The space seats 150 (85 max on weeknights due to zoning restrictions), 
and the chairs are movable.

There are two very nice dressing rooms, and a lighting booth.

The building is wheelchair accessible, with an elevator, ramps, and a 
large parking lot. It is three blocks from restaurants and bars on 45th 
St. in Wallingford, and close to the U District, Fremont, and Green 
Lake.

Please forward this to anyone who you think should know about it, and 
contact me to book dates or ask further questions.

See you at the Chapel!
