About Booking at the Ypsi Freight House in Depot Town with Holy Bones
If you write info@holybones.net, you’ll hear from passionate community activist Holly. Holly started the Holy Bones Music Festival to raise money for the Ypsilanti Performance Space. Holly wrote the following to the team:
Hi Authors!
We could set you up along the deck. It's $5 to register for each space, or you could bring a tent for $25 to share with a few authors in the courtyard. The weather is looking iffy on Friday right now, but there's a chance it will clear up. Let me know if you'd like to proceed with registering and I'll send you the link.
Remember our Google Meet on Thursday Night!
It’s hardly mandatory, but aren’t you curious about the writer’s community we are building together for August 4th, 2023, 5 - 9 PM in downtown Ypsi? Let’s circle the wagons and talk about creating a great Friday together.
