Three weeks from tonight, the courtyard next to Hotwire Online Coffeehouse (WSB sponsor) will fill with people, lawn chairs, and blankets, awaiting the kickoff of this year’s West Seattle Outdoor Movies series (co-sponsored by WSB). The movies are free and run on volunteer power – so this year we’re asking if you can help. There’s also a call out for pre-show musicians.

First, for volunteers, here are the prerequisites:

*Ideally available at least three of the six movie nights (consecutive Saturdays, 7/20-8/24); would need to be at the courtyard by 6:30 and stay until 11:30 or so

*Should have rudimentary knowledge of how to hook up professional audio equipment; you’ll need to help with some lifting and moving of the equipment

*Previous movie-theater experience? Big plus! But not required

*Training will be provided as the series begins

MUSICIANS:

*Need to have your own equipment and be ready to play an hour-long pre-show set.

Whether you can volunteer, or are an interested musician, or both – e-mail lora@hotwirecoffee.com to find out more.
