Hello this is Jack . I'm the music intern at the boiler room. If you don't know anything about the boiler room, I suggest checking out the boiler room myspace page. Basically, the boiler room is a non-profit, youth oriented, volunteer run coffehouse located in port townsend washington.
If you want to play a show here at the BR, this is what i usually tell people when they email me:
1. We definitely can't pay you and we ask that you don't charge money at the door. You are more than welcome to ask for donations, sell cds, shirts, etc.
2. If you are communicating with me about a show please leave the e-mail address and/or myspace profile you can be reached at, Phone contact is good as well, thank you. I very much prefer that the artist(s) playing or organizing the show communicate with me directly and not through another person as this can cause problems for your show.
3. If you are going to play a show here please, please, please let me know in advance if you need me to make a flyer for you (I don't mind making them as long as I have plenty of notice). Also, please let me Know if you are planning on bringing additional acts with you or need me to find some local acts to play with you.
4. We like prefer to have shows mainly on friday and saturday nights. We can be very flexible about this, but we try to save some of our other nights for other activities (for example we have a gallery walk with a featured artist the first saturday of every month and we have open mic every thursday).
5. The BR isn't very big. our max capacity is 49 people. So basically this means, don't expect a hundred people to show up to watch you play.
So that's the jist of things. We're very open, so just email me and let me know your situation and I can try and work something out for you. Thanks for checking out our page. Thanks for supporting the Boiler Room!
