Wanna volunteer on the AP Tour?

Alternative Press - Nichole Fazekas on 2/8/10 @ 11:31 AM - altpress.com

We're looking for a few volunteers to help out at the AP booth at several stops of this spring's AP Tour.

You must be at least 17 and be able to provide your own transportation to and from the venue. If chosen, you'll be allowed to bring two or three friends along to help--all of you will receive free admission. Please keep in mind, though, that you'll be there to help out, so you might not see all of the show. You've also got to be at the venue between one and two hours before doors open.

Dates we need volunteers:
4/08 People's Court - Des Moines, IA
4/13 The Beaumont Club - Kansas City, MO
4/28 Club Infinity - Buffalo, NY
5/01 Northern Lights - Albany, NY
5/05 Phoenix Theatre - Toronto, ON

Interested? E-mail Nichole Fazekas at streetteam@altpress.com with information about yourself. Please note, we only need help at the cities listed. Please don't e-mail asking to work other dates.
