Jack O’Malley explains how crowdfunding might work for a JBCM buiomusical tour (Madrid, Dec. 1, 2018)

This video was shot by the Stars4all European project team during a crowdfunding workshop which they held from Nov. 30 to Dec. 1, 2018, at the Madrid, Spain,European Business School (ESCP).

After an introductory day, each participant was asked to present a crowdfunding project dealing with awareness raising and promotion of night skies.

Andrea Giacomelli, in his role as Jack O’Malley, presentede the case of a buiomusical (musica + buiometria partecipativa) tour by the Jug Band Colline Metallifere in Milano, Italy, which may be easily adapted to other destinations.

At the time we did not yet know about the tour to Germany. At this point, the video is really handy to explain you may support our end-of-May mission.

We thank the Stars4all project for providing travel support for the participation to the Madrid workshop.

Waiting for the Farma Valley Winter Fest in Madrid

As per the promotion plan of the Third Farma Valley Winter Fest (in Southern Tuscany Dec 14-16, this year also hosting the Tuscan conference of amateur astronomer associations, including some international guests), we have an event scheduled for tomorrow (Saturday, Dec. 1, 2018) in Madrid, Spain.

The situation is kind of fluid, but not chaotic: at present the venue and the time are not yet defined. However this is an event taking shape a long way from home, and in a city where I was last time in 2004. So bear with me if some details will arrive last minute. For the moment I can say the event will be after 8PM.

Should you be in Madrid, and interested in participating, please write to  info@pibinko.org to have more details as soon as they are available, or check the pibinko.org/news section during the afternoon of Saturday.
