Gathering Reports We welcome reports of events from all. Everyone
benefits from your efforts when you write a report: the performers, the
organizers, and interested readers. Your good report can help encourage
future attendance for a gathering. You can submit a report to us by email.
Here are some items to consider: Include the official name of the event, its location,
and the date it was held. Get the names of as many performers as you can; refer to
the program or check with the organizers to make sure you have all of
the names and that they are spelled correctly. In the case of music
groups, try to include the names of group members. Even if you can't include everyone in the body of your
report, try to add a list of names so that everyone is mentioned.
If you were a performer, it's fine to include yourself in
any list of performers or description. Organizers work hard, and if you can include information
about them and give credit, do. Give readers a taste of the event; they are more
interested in what happened at the event than in personal accounts of
your own experiences getting there, for example.
We try to post events in a timely way. They are noted in our News, posted in our indexes of Gathering Reports, and links are made from our Events Calendar. We notify you when your report is posted. Corrections are easy on this end, and are always welcome.
