Austin's Creative Community at the Long Center - Q & A

[acrouch]

If you will come to the meeting below (and bring as many people from the Improv community as possible) I will pay you back in direct love and bring some Rudes out to the Hide Out. The Long Center is going to have a performance space for small and mid-sized groups in addition to the Big Boys, like the Opera and the Ballet, and there is even going to be a bar for cabaret type stuff. It's very important to me. I would appreciate it if you would come out.

All the Best,
Kirk

Town Hall Meeting with the HBMG Foundation and the Long Center

HBMG Foundation invites you to attend an art exhibit and town hall meeting with the staff of the Long Center on, Monday, July 9 at 7pm at the HBMG Foundation office (7901 Cameron Road, Building 3, Second Floor.)

As part of its commitment to supporting the development of creativity and innovation in the arts, technology and business, the HBMG Foundation has asked the Executive Director and staff of the Long Center to discuss the new facility and to offer a question and answer session on developing, marketing, and managing artistic projects with you, the creative community of Austin.

Austin has a vibrant and important community of creative individuals and organizations. As the Center prepares for its opening next year, the Long Center staff wants to understand the needs and concerns of that community. HBMG Foundation invites you to participate in this Town Hall meeting to hear from the Executive Director, Programming Director, the Marketing and Development Director of the Center, and to express your opinions on how the Long Center can best serve Austin's creative community.

Food and beverages will be provided. Join us for a night of drinks and discussions on how the Center can benefit you.

Please RSVP to info@hbmgfoundation.org by July 7.

We'll see you there,
The HBMG Foundation

May I pose a direct question? What is the future of the Hideout Theatre? Doesn't their lease come up in '08 or '09? Should we start courting this space as a replacement venue before their schedule fills up and we get relegated to tuesdays at 10pm?

May I pose a direct question?

I'll take this as an uncomfortable "no".

: ) Sean has the option of renewing the Hideout's lease in spring of 2009. While he might be willing to pass it on to someone else, I don't think he'll renew it himself.

Space is something that we need to be thinking about.
