7th Annual CHIRP RECORD FAIR & OTHER DELIGHTS
April 18-19, 2009
Saturday 10am-5pm and Sunday 10am-5pm
(Saturday Pre-Admission 8am-10am)
NEW VENUE!! Chicago Journeymen Plumbers Union,
1340 W. Washington Blvd.
Chicago, IL 60607 Chicago, Illinois
Regular Admission: $7/$5 with any CHIRP RF ad/receipt from any record store dated 4/18/09 ($25 pre-admission Sat. 8am-10am)
CHIRP is a non-profit organization formed to bring a new community radio station to Chicago. This station would be independently owned and operated by the group, and would provide a voice for independent music and views. In order to be able to apply for a new station, CHIRP is working to encourage the FCC to make a rule change, and Congress to pass the Local Community Radio Act, which would open up new frequencies for low power FM radio licenses in urban areas. Right now, such signals are restricted to rural and exurban areas.
And, today's the last day for the Joseph Yoakum show at Intuit.
Admission to Intuit is free and they're open 11 to 5pm today, Saturday.
