We will sandwich your music with ours and there will be beer to wash it all down so please bring your axe and show the world your art. All styles welcome. See you then.

Riverwest Public House
As we now know there will be three bands and we are one of them. Sea Warrior is another one, they're like psychedelic noise improv. Not citar psychedelia but like the "whoa my mind!" kind. There's another band playing; I think they're called PORNO HORSE. Sweet. This should be a real blast. I'm really hoping that porno horse brings footage of farm animals getting nasty.

The Pub features a huge bar area, a balcony and two beautiful courtyards. Conveniently located less than 2 minutes off I-43 North, The Best Place has agreed to host the event with no cover charge and drink specials all evening. Ample parking is readily available.
Models, dress to impress, photographers bring your cameras. While this is NOT primarily a shooting event, one set of lights will be set up for general use, and shooting opportunities abound in the courtyards and just outside the doors !
Pose (https://www.facebook.com/groups/228702000497497/?ref=ts) is one of the largest, most active Wisconsin based Facebook Groups around. While this is an official Pose event, ALL are welcome to attend whether a member of the group or not. While the event is obviously most convenient for those in SE Wisconsin, individuals from all all parts of the State (and yes even those in the flatlands across the border to the South !) will enjoy the historic atmosphere and networking opportunities.
This event is 18+ to attend, 21+ to consume alcohol.
