Hi,

I'm Jordan Mendenhall, the president of the Carolina Electronic Music 
Symposium. We have some upcoming events where we will need some DJs. 
We've also been asked to help coordinate a few events with the Carolina 
Union and others on campus, so help on those fronts would be great as 
well. Also, to participate, you don't necessarily have to be a student 
at UNC. Any help is appreciated in getting the music out.

1) We're planning on spinning in the Pit with the breakers at least a 
day a week for the first two weeks of Nov. It's possible that if we 
have enough DJs volunteer and the times are right that we would do two 
days a week. The times would be from 4-7, or 5-7, whichever worked best 
for people. 

2) I recieved a letter from Becca Crawford, an events coordinator on 
campus, asking for assistance in finding DJs of different genres to 
come DJ at a 'rave' event that they're having Nov 13 from 5-9. You can 
contact her (becca AT email.unc.edu) or me (mematt AT email.unc.edu) if 
interested.

3) The Carolina Union Activities Board is planning an Elements of Hip 
Hop program for Dec 2 in Great Hall and are looking for graffiti 
artists, breakdancers, MCs, etc. If anyone does any of these things or 
knows someone who does, contact Ada Wilson (adaw AT email.unc.edu). She's 
looking for mostly local performers to showcase the stylings and 
talents of the Triangle but I'm sure folks from outside are welcome as 
well.

4) HIV Poetry and Performance Jam - Thursday, December 2nd at 7:30pm in 
Gerrard Auditorium. They are looking for performers of all sorts as 
long as it contains a message about HIV prevention, awareness, etc. 
That can come in the forms of signs or what have you but seeing as this 
was a genre founded and defined by gay and minority youth and then 
decimated by AIDS I think it'd be honorable to have some people 
represent there. Contact Beth Credle credle AT email.unc.edu if interested.

Thanks, and sorry for the long email, please let me know if you have 
any interests in any of these events or in assisting CEMS with its 
mission to spread electronic music in the UNC community.

Thanks!

-JM
