Squid-Fest West a Success!

Music, food, and love for K-Squid. What more could we ask for? Our first-ever Squid-Fest West benefit concert and auction was a smashing success. Over 200 happy revelers enjoyed music by Keith Greeninger, Tammi Brown, The Coffis Brothers, Dan and Laurel, The Dooners, Anthony Arya, William Coulter, Shelley Phillips, Steve Coulter, and Steve Palazzo. Thank you to all the musicians who brought us such joyful sounds.

The event brought in over $9,000 for KSQD, exceeding all expectations. We could not have done it without the help of Jay Saber of The Wheel Company, who offered his expertise in event production, Diane Cowen, who helped round up over 50 amazing auction items, Mathilde Rand, who handled the money and the door with grace, Charlie Lange, who sold wine and beer all night, Nina Moore, who designed our amazing poster, John Choa for donating his sound system and expertise, John Senter for rounding up so many volunteers, and so many more helpers, we will list them here by name. They put in hours of their time to make this event come off smoothly. That’s because they love community radio, and community in general We also want to thank the Resource Center for Nonviolence, whose venue made it a pleasurable event.
