The idea to make this website came to me last November and since then I have been discussing it with anyone and everyone that would listen. I've taken feedback and criticisms, asked questions and taken advice. I have had the help of a great production crew and web development team who have helped me work out the functionality of the site, promotion techniques, and logistics. I have full confidence that we can produce a site that will help people and help make the world a better place.
As for the Barter World celebration show: I have booked local Bands: Hoot Hoots, The Torn ACLs and possibly a third band (tbd). This show will take place at the Jewelbox Theater in downtown Seattle, date is still TBD (End of July-Beginning of August). If you would like to come to this show please rsvp to me (abarterworld@gmail.com). *Note: Please rsvp only if you plan on being there as space is limited!
