What is The Really REALLY Free Market?
It s like a large community-wide garage sale, except everything is FREE! Yes, that s right, FREE! Everyone is invitied to bring things to GIVE AWAY!

So this is like bartering or trading, right?
Nope. Bartering and trading go something like this: I ve got this great shirt here, what can you offer me for it? The RRFM goes something like this: I ve got this really great shirt here. I don t really wear it anymore, but I d hate to see it go to waste. Do you want it? Great! Here, it s yours!

Why would i want to do a thing like that?
Because you have too many things already! Because you re just going to throw it away anyway. Because it FEELS GOOD! Do you have things cluttering up your home? Maybe some stuff that you don t use anymore, but
you know that someone else would probably love. One person s trash can truly be another person s treasure!

What should I bring?
Bring *your thing* to the RRFM, whatever that is!Material goods, food or drinks, a service to provide,a skill you have that you want to teach to others, a
performance, or anything else!

What if I don t have anything to give away?
Everyone has something to give to others. The RRFM isn t just about giving away *stuff.* What is it that you do? Why not come to the RRFM and find a way to do it for others, except this time for free just for the fun of it. As a gift to
others, as a gift to yourself. It s a way of reclaiming meaning in your job, to give it as a gift, unmediated by commerce.

Who runs the RRFM?
Well, the RRFM consists of the sum of its participants. The gift you bring to the event, helps create what the event is for others, just as what others bring to the event, creates what the event is for you. That said, there are some folks who came together to help create the structure for the RRFM to work. But it is our hope that soon enough, our role within the RRFM will be the same as everyone else s. That is, that each of us decides our own level of involvement.

The RRFM is yours!
Take advantageous of that. Make it what you want it to be! If you want to see something happening at the RRFM that isn t already happening, than make it happen! If you want to see more people coming to the RRFM, help spread the word! Send emails to your friends, make and distribute flyers, talk to people about the RRFM.

Please help us keep the RRFM a 100% FREE and non-commercial event. Let s come together and forget about trading, bartering, and money. Leave the business cards at home and remember the joy of giving for the sake of giving.

Help us keep the courtyard at St. Mark's clean as we found it! If no one takes what you brought, please bring it home with you. If you like what you just read, get involved! Come to the RRFM! Bring your own gifts to share! Spread the info, and get more people involved! The RRFM takes YOU to make it happen.

Andrew Gets a Nod on boingboing.com!

BoingBoing is my favorite blog of all-time, ever; being linked in it is--to me--like being in Rolling Stone. Scroll Down to the READER COMMENTS and there I am! I was mentioned for a blog I wrote about the media coverage of the VA Tech murders. Check out my blog page for more.

Andrew Has Spring Gigs and a New Song

Check out my Shows Page for some new gigs I posted.

I also put a rough cut new version of an old song on my Media Page. "Hostage" is probably the second song I ever wrote that I thought was any good. I was 16 when I wrote it. It's gone through a few incarnations and everytime I think I'm ready to scrap it for good, something makes me hang onto it. I hope you enjoy.

Official Launch!

Surpringly, I actually did pull-off launching my site by tomorrow! Welcome, everyone! I hope www.andrewjimenez.com will be bookmarked or favorited by all of you and that you come back regularly to read my blog, check for showdates and new downloads, and just to listen and look around.

Enjoy, and please feel free to drop an email to tell me what you think. I'm finally no longer dependant upon MySpace!

A Slew of Good Stuff

The official launch of andrewjimenez.com--which will pretty much just be an email telling everyone the site is up and completed--is less than a week away (it might even be tomorrow!). Very exciting.

Rorie and I played the Perpetual Toxins show at Live Trax this past Saturday. Miles to Dayton was kind enough to fill in last-minute and boy am I glad they did. The show was amazing and I want to thank everyone at PerpTox for being so damn rad.

At the show, there were issues of the latest print edition of PerpTox strewn about everywhere, and if you were there and picked one up, you may've noticed the centerfold article was a sweet feature on Rorie and I. The article should be up on the Perpetual Toxins website next month.

Also, if you visit the website for the movie One Night sometime within the next couple of weeks, you should see a nice profile of me and those of my songs they used in the movie. A huge thank-you to Michael Knowles and 7a Productions for using my songs in their film.
