Subj: Gig in ACU on <Date> with <Bands>

Practicalities
ACU address is Utrecht, Voorstraat 71
Doors are open at 20:00. Bands are expected to be at 17:00 for the stage buildup.
Proposed times:
17:00 - Stage buildup
18:00 - Soundcheck start
19:00 - Food
20:30 - 21:00 - First Band
21:15 - 22:00 - Second band
22:15 - 23:00 - Third Band
23:00 - Curfew

Warm Food
All our food is vegan and prepared by our volunteers specially for the evening. Don't forget to say thanks to people who are cooking for you!
Please inform me how many people are on your crew and if there are any food allergies.

Deal
Bands get drinks (one beer crate per band or similar non-alco drink) + vegan food + door money is split fairly between acts. ACU or I don't have any cut in ticket sales. Bands outside NL are staying at my place.

Payments
You will have to fill up the gageverklaring to receive money. For bands from NL - you know what it is. There is - Gageverklaring Template.pdf - a prefilled one for ACU. I will need at least 2 people with their IDs on that form. We will do it during dinner if you cannot fill and print it out in advance.
Since we are doing presales - money is in our bank account and we will do a cashless transfer to the bands from NL.

Backline
ACU has a drumkit, but bands are expected to bring their own breakables. We have one bass and two guitar cabinets. We DON'T have any amps. You need to bring your own or agree to share with another band. Let me know if this is a problem. You can find the houserider there: House Rider.pdf.
Please send me your tech rider, especially if you have some exotic setup.

Parking
Quite a complex topic. See PDF with options: Parking.pdf. Do not go for street parking, it costs around 7 euros per hour.
