MONTHLY SCHEDULE FOR THE ARK
November, 1992

The Ark is a non-profit "coffeehouse" in Ann Arbor, Michigan, that promotes
acoustic music such as folk, bluegrass, blues, jazz, celtic, international, 
children's, etc.  The Ark is operated almost entirely by volunteers.

This schedule is posted on a monthly basis to rec.music.folk.  The schedule
is entered as accurate as possible, with the usual typos and blunders, and
is subject to change, of course.  You should call the box office at
(313-761-1451) to get ticket prices.  Tickets are sold either in advance or
at the door.  If advance, they are usually sold 2 weeks in advance at
Schoolkid's Records, Herb David Guitar Studio (both in Ann Arbor) and the
Michigan Union Ticket Office (313-763-8587), which is a TicketMaster outlet,
so you can get them over the phone with your plastic.  Seating is Darwinian
(general admission).  Shows are at 8:00 unless otherwise noted, and the doors
open 1/2 hour before.  Ark Members, students and seniors receive $1 discount
on tickets.  Ticket prices run from about $8 to $15 depending on the act...
it's that good old supply-and-demand.

Directions:
  The Ark is at 637-1/2 S. Main St. between Hill and Madison, directly
  across from Mosley St. and the Sherwin-Williams paint store.  The dor
  is on the south side of the building.  Park on the side or behind the
  building, or at the paint store.  Here's how to get there:

  From the east (e.g., Detroit) take I-94 west to Sailne-Ann Arbor Rd. exit.
  Going north, Saline-Ann Arbor Rd. will become S. Main.  Continue past UofM
  Football Stadium (Go Blue!) then past Hill St. then look for the Ark on
  the right.

  From the north (e.g., Brighton) take US-23 south to M-14 west to the Main
  St. exit ("Downtown Ann Arbor").  Go south through downtown Ann Arbor
  (wave to Shakey Jake). Continue south, cross the RR tracks and Madison St.
  the look for the Ark on the left.

  From the south (e.g., Toledo) take US-23 north to I-94 west, then follow
  directions from the east above.

  From the west (e.g., Jackson) take I-94 east to Jackson Rd. exit
  ("Downtown Ann Arbor").  Go east on Jackson (you don't have any choice).
  Jackson will merge with Dexter to become Huron (remember to take the left
  at this fork on the way back out of town).  Continue east on Huron, under
  the RR bridge and up the hill, then go south on Main.  Continue south,
  cross the RR tracks and Madison St. then look for the Ark on the left.

Feel free to contact me if you have questions.  I suggest getting your name
on the mailing list so you can get the monthly calendar with descriptions of
each act.  I'm too lazy to type all that in!  If you're just DYING to get
some details, email me.  Please note that The Ark does not post this monthly
article and this is not an advertisement.  I do this as an Ark supporter and
volunteer and for the benifit of those who have requested it.  That is to 
say, if you have a problem with this posting, talk to me about it... they 
won't know what you're talking about and they'll just give you a kinda funny,
clueless look as a result and then offer you a Ginger Beer (which will 
adversely effect your chapped lips).
