[Organizers] Following up on house concert hosting

Hi Seth and Doug + All :) Seth and Doug - Thanks so much for sharing some ideas and tips on house concert organizing! I had to set that project aside for a few weeks but I've dug into some planning today and your advice and links are really helpful. All - I'm wondering about house concerts being an additional way that we can support dance musicians + bring together our communities during this time when some people feel able to dance while others can't. For a long time, our contra community (in Ottawa ON) would book a little tour for dance musicians, with them playing in Montreal the day after, and sometimes doing an afternoon workshop. I know lots of dance musicians are ready to play but there aren't as many dance gigs (at least yet) than before the pandemic. Having the option of house concerts seems like a really great option. Anyway - I don't want to take up too much bandwidth on this list as it's about dance organizing but Seth and Doug... thank you! I'll follow up as I'm sorting out details. :) Hope you're all doing really well. I got in my first in-person dancing this past weekend since the start of the pandemic. It was the Adirondack Dance Weekend. What an incredibly well organized event it was... .... so many lovely details making the whole weekend very magical. :) Emily Writing from Ottawa ON
