GLOW MEETING THIS WEEK
Wednesday, July 16 - 6:30pm
Limelight Nashville

We are going to make GLOW 2008 the Cat's Meow!

We will make our final plans this week so we can start putting them together, ordering supplies, and gearing up for joyriding on a moonbeam......or what ever your thing is.

Be sure to come to the Glow Show meeting this week, Wednesday night at 6:30 pm before our regular meeting. We will meet at Limelight. We will be talking decorations, gimmics, gizmos, and transformation tricks!

Come prepared with great ideas to partify Glow. Or get inspired by our curator's (Tina's) vision of Glow. We will talk about the set up and how to make people welcome and get them in that jovial, joyful, festive mood to support Untitled and the artists who make it happen!

Glow is our annual chance to celebrate Untitled! We have a feeling this year will be a Glow to remember.
