MESS is currently not functioning due to a lack of leadership. [[Morgan Goodwin]], the group's founder, a) is not a musician and doesn't know enough about equipment to advocate for this effectively, and b) is busy. He is willing to support anyone willing to take up the leadership.
The most likely space available to us would be [[Sewell ]] garage, but it would need serious renovation before it would be heated, soundproofed and clean enough to use. Other possible options for student musicians include a project called underground sound in [[Bennington]], VT. Here is a quote from an email recieved about it: <blockquote> :"The vision of the space is still under negotiations, Chris Macksey, Youth Advisory Board President/Youth Executive Assistant would like to see the space offer youth the opportunity to record their own music, keeping with the program name, UNDERGROUND SOUND, in addition to the open mic nights, poetry readings, and other events. Chris has some great connections, as due the board to pursue such a venture. As with any site their are 2-3 major renovation projects that need to be address which I feel the teens should fundraise fundraise or solicit donations/in-kind services.<P></P><P>1. :# A stair case which is not to Fire code</P><P>2. :# Minor Renovations to Basement</P><P>3. :# Start up funds for Equipment and supplies (Grants may absorb this cost)</P> <P> :(Items which may not get solved at the meeting but discussed.)</P><P></p>:My hope is that with your knowledge in business management, motivation,and the support of Williams College you would like to come on board with yourteam to assist in making this process happen successfully and professionally."</blockquote>
