briguy Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Hey now, I'm looking for volunteers who can help load Marco's 1927 upright piano. 15 minutes of your work = $30+ value, possibly more. I need two sober people in each city (already have two) who can help early before the show plus at the end of the show. You're not required to help with anything else. Just the piano from curb to stage and back (all ground floor). You get guestlist, a copy of the new CD (maybe signed), and the opportunity to move a heavy musical instrument with Marco Benevento. Actually he'll be supervising but you get the point. Times for these positions look like 7pm and 2am in both Ottawa and Hamilton, and 2pm and 12am in Toronto. This will also give you access to the venue before doors plus soundcheck and premium seating if any.Please send me a private message if you're interested. Thanks for reading.

Good LuckRob this piano is from 1927- I don't think Marco is gonna put up with any "sort of- kind of- not really" drunk guys no matter how strong. Briguy sounds serious and if I were you I wouldn't get involved. You do not want to be responsible in any way if that thing gets banged up mang.........

hamilton Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 I can be sober at those times, but I won't actually be physically present. Can I psychically transmit my help and still get paid for it as if I were actually there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tungsten Gruvsten Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 I'd contact Wall Sound (or other production houses up there...Northern Wish?) and see if they have some loaders or free-lancers who will take you up on your offer - that's not much for a late night 'load out' but if you explain it is just a piano and on the same floor....http://wallsound-lighting.com/Alternatively, you could put a post up on Pro Sound Web or Gearslutz - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
