    Antibalas + Wyclef Jean
    "Walk a little - Dance a little - on a Sunday Afternoon!"
    On Sunday, September 29th, Antibalas is performing in New York City's
    Morningside Park entertaining the participants of a walk-a-thon benefiting
    affordable housing. The only way to see the show is to participate in the
    walk-a-thon. So, take a nice autumn stroll (only 5 miles!) through Manhattan
    and then dance your nyash off for an hour in Morningside Park (located at
    110th Street and Morningside Avenue/Columbus Avenue). Also performing is
    Wyclef Jean. Read more about the walk-a-thon and sign up at:

    --Buy tickets to Antibalas' shows directly from our booking agency!
    Because Ticketmaster sucks...
    Our super heroes, the Billions booking agency have hooked up a better
    alternative to ticketmaster (boooooh-boooooh).
    <http://rd.bcentral.com/?ID=225927&s=19687695to this crib to
    check for
    Ticket availability for Antibalas' North American Dates.
    Unfortunately they can't guarantee that every venue will sell tickets
    with this method...
    but most shows will have tickets on that site.

    --A note on live Recording of our shows
    If you have live recordings and/or video footage of any of our shows please
    contact
    <mailto:delthebassplayer@antibalas.com>delthebassplayer@antibalas.com
    Del is now the official band archivist
    so please get in touch with him for any live taping matters.
    We encourage people to tape our shows as long as the recordings are not
    distributed or used in any commercial form. We do ask for a copy for our
    archiving purposes. Trading live shows is love...

    Friends:
    JOIN UP WITH THE ANTIBALAS GRASSROOTS MOVEMENT
    Everybody say ye-ye! We are looking to establish a grassroots network
    of Antibalas
    supporters in the cities where we play.

    As we are engaged in a continuous struggle to overcome all the many
    obstacles, financial (and otherwise) of making afrobeat music, we can
    only afford
    to compensate you with free passes to shows, backstage access, and other tokens
    of our gratitude. Still interested? Go to
    <http://rd.bcentral.com/?ID=225929&s=19687695p://www.antibalas.com/pages/grassroots-welcome.html
    and read some more.

    The first phase of the recruiting campaign has been a complete success, but we
    still need people in the following cities:

    Charlottesville, VA
    Seattle, WA
    Washington, DC
    Ottawa, CA
    Ithaca, NY
    Newport, RI
    New Orleans,LA

    We have filled positions in the cities listed below. If you want to
    become a volunteer
    you can do so by signing up and helping the team in your city. We
    won't be able to compensate
    you but you will have a spot on the line and move up should a
    position open in the compensated team.

    Portland
    San Francisco
    Los Angeles
    San Diego
    Boston
    Montreal, Canada
    Toronto, Canada
    New York City
    Burlington, VT
    Philadelphia, PA

    If you live in a city other than the ones listed above, you can join
    the movement and start spreading
    the word about Antibalas. We will contact you before going to your
    city in the future.

    Gracias!

    Still interested? Go to
