Local bands, prepare your jiffy envelopes! Though this winter seems impenetrable and endless, nothing is quite so warm a reminder that there are sunnier times ahead than the promise of the Fort Reno summer concert series. Amanda MacKaye and her cohorts are now accepting submissions for consideration in the 2010 lineup. If you’d like to participate in one of this city’s greatest traditions, get your demo in by March 16 to:

Fort Reno Booking
3819 Beecher St. NW
Washington, DC 20007-1802

And, as a gentle reminder (and because hey, if NPR can do it all week long, we can at least do it once), Fort Reno can’t run without your help. Make an investment in your future happiness, aka, great local music outdoors on warm summer evenings, by donating here.
