If you're subscribed to the MIX email list, you should have already gotten this. If you didn't, and want to be subscribed, please let me know! Also... three requests from me.

1. Please come to MoMA and show your support on Friday.
2. Consider volunteering for the 23rd MIX Festival, and let me know if you're interested.
3. And, if you can, please donate to MIX today. We NEED cash, and any amount you can give will help.

Thanks,
Frank

Call for Volunteers Lastly, we're also proud to remind everyone that MIX NYC is an ALL-VOLUNTEER grassroots organization. Why do we do it? Because queer experimental film is the best. It's EXCITING, REVOLUTIONARY, TRANSFORMATIONAL, AND RADICAL. Plus, everything is better when you do it together. From ticket-taking, to flyering, to sweeping the floors... we can use all the help we can get. If you would like to VOLUNTEER for this year's festival, or have questions about volunteering, contact us at volunteers@mixnyc.org.
