  If you could shrink anyone to 1/8th their size to be your sidekick, who would it be?

  2 0 Sorry can't get the picture thing right but I'd love to have an irate, witty, politically charged Bill Hicks (back from the dead) as my side kick. He'd be even funnier 1/8th his size.  Mamma Casserole answered in Noise for the Needy 12 months ago Answer, comment & read 9 more answers »

  For the uninitiated: How does the NFTN differ from years past?

  0 0 Although we initially tried to scale down the fest, this year has more artists (over 90) than ever before! So many artists and venues wanted to be involved we couldn't say no! This year's line-up has the most amount of Portland headliners ever- notice the following Portland artists that will trek up I-5 for us -Soft Metals (@ The Underground Events Center -Fri June 10), Loch Lomond (Columbia City Theater- Sat June 11), Drew Grow and the Pastors' Wives (Chop Suey -Thurs June 9)Builders and Butchers (The Tractor -Friday June 11), Kelli Schaefer (Conor Byrne-Sat June 11) and the Seattle debut of Ramona Falls (Vera -Sunday June 12). This is also the first year we have an entire weekend (Friday June 10& Saturday June 11) at the Underground Events Center in Belltown (Punk Rock Flea Market Space). One evening is electronic/dance/punk and the other is HEAVY HEAVY with Akimbo headlining- Seattle ROck Guy (nik C) is co-producing this show with us, and it's his birthday party! We also added a few new venues this year. One is the Columbia City Theater (Saturday June 12) and this event with Loch Lomond, Goldfinch, Big Sur and The Horse & The Harem will be co-produced by Sound on the Sound Music Blog; The other is a Cha Cha show on Sunday June 12. Also we have our first karaoke night at the Crescent on Wed June 8! Every year is a bit different as every year we pick a different Seattle charity -This year it's Real Change! http://www.realchangenews.org/ Hope you can check out our full schedule at http://wwww.noisefortheneedy.org where you can buy tickets to most of our shows Mamma Mamma Casserole answered in Noise for the Needy 12 months ago Answer, comment & read 4 more answers »

  How did you select Real Change as the beneficiary and how much do you hope to raise for them this year?

  0 0 Thanks Mandy for the question! Choosing Real Change was a unanimous Noise for the Needy staff decision. All of us are familiar with the wonderful vendors who sell the informative Real Change papers outside of PCC, QFC etc and on so many Seattle street corners. The paper offers and opportunity for these vendors -who are low income and or homeless to make some income rather than panhandle. However Real Change does a lot more for the community as you can see on their web site-http://www.realchangenews.org/ They've long been advocates for social justice-which has the potential to improve living conditions for all of us. Real Change has such positive recognition for all the bands we solicited to play the festival as well. That made it easy for many of them to volunteer for the cause. I would guess that we hope to make as much as we can for the charity and want to exceed last years amount which was in the 25k neighborhood.
