SUMMARY:FAIR PLAY at AAMI
DESCRIPTION:Calling all music makers, venue owners, promoters, produce
 rs, and hard core live music fans!To the Club Musicians --- you are th
 e content-makers giving us hours upon hours of your heart and soul, he
 lping us to celebrate, unwind, and elevate our quality of living. You 
 invest your lives in this. What do you receive in return? Are you maki
 ng it? What do you need? What do you want?Promoters and Venue Owners -
 - do you value your content-makers as the professionals that they are?
  If not, what's holding you back? How can we improve?Audiences -- does
  it matter to you that your favorite band works all night and might go
  home with less than minimum wage? Would you work in similar condition
 s? If you could choose to see your friends and favorite bands at a cl
 ub where you knew they were taken care of would that make a difference
 ?We think so! Based on the Fair Trade Music (TM) model, we believe tha
 t in the same way a Food Co-op can coexist with a Giant Eagle, there i
 s enough room to create an alternative model for live music and their 
 audiences, one that allows people to choose where and how to hear the 
 artists they love based on a set of standards of ethical treatment of 
 the content-makers.Are you interested in exploring this with us? Are y
 ou interested in living in a city like that? If so we need you. We nee
 d your enthusiasm, experience, and wisdom. We need you to help us drea
 m up ways to make this a reality.Moderated by Christiane Leach of Grea
 ter Pittsburgh Arts Council and led by veteran singer/songwriter Heath
 er Kropf with a round table discussion of musicians and industry pros,
  this meeting is open to everyone who cares. Nothing is pre-determined
 . Your content will shape the future of Fair Play. We look forward to 
 getting this conversation started!\n\nFor more information visit https
