Q: When and where will the Grrrlz Rock Festival be happening?
A: November, 2011 in and around Eugene, Oregon, as well as other cities throughout the state.
Q: Is Grrrlz Rock Anti-Men?
A: No, silly! Grrrlz Rock is all about celebrating women. We LOVE women,
don’t you? That doesn’t mean we don’t like men. There are a lot of men
performing in the series with women, and we encourage men to come out
to enjoy the amazing shows.
Q: What’s the deal with the VIP Passes?
A: The VIP Passes are one of
the things that make the Grrrlz Rock Festival so special. All of the
performers, sponsors and volunteers for this year’s series get a pass.
It gets you into all of the events during the month of November FREE
(most of the shows) and 1/2 off to others. Over 500 VIP Passes are in
circulation during the month. This way, the many performers can check
out the other acts, meet those involved and support all of the amazing
women who make Grrrlz Rock so rad. We believe this helps to create a
community of women performers (and the guys who love them) which
continues to grow and thrive within the community of Eugene and
beyond.
Q: How do I get my hands on a VIP Pass?
A: There are two ways to get a VIP Pass.
1) Submit an application to perform in the festival or contribute in some other way. This may mean volunteering at shows, helping the behind the scenes promotion of the many events, or other tasks related to the events. What skills, talent and passions do you have to share? Chances are, we could really use some help in that department.
2) You can be a sponsor! This involves contributing funds in exchange for logo or business name placement. If you are an individual you can support Grrrlz Rock by purchasing an individual sponsorship package. For more information about these and other ways to support Grrrlz Rock, please contact us.
