JON JOHNSON BENEFIT SERIES, 2/8 - 2/11 2007, MASTER THREAD: News, Posters, Lineups, Press Info... Options

[MizValentine]

Since the 'pinned' threads are many and there is information in several places, I wanted to create a single thread where info about the benefit series can be posted, particularly for the benefit of non-regular Noise Board users. So, in this thread you will find (and/or should post):

1. Up to the minute lineup changes and additions.
2. Links to the venues and contact info for the organizers.
3. Poster art, in both web and printable versions.
4. Offers of and requests for promotional help leading up to the shows.
5. A press release and media contacts (coming shortly).

Thank you for your help in keeping all this information clear and in one place.
