Beginning in September, 2009, MAS returns to meeting TWICE PER MONTH!
The initial monthly meetings are held at 7 pm CT on the second Tuesday of each month at Asbury United Methodist Church (aka Living Spirit Methodist), 4501 Bloomington Avenue South, Minneapolis. The meeting will consist of song reviews (live or recorded - BYOBoombox), followed by an impromptu jam of original tunes when time permits. Please park and enter at the rear door and take one flight up to the back of the sanctuary, where we'll be waiting for you.
The second meeting of each month (January through October only) are also held at 7 pm CT on the last Wednesday of every month. The meeting will consist of an educational songwriting workshop, followed by song reviews; occasionally, MAS business (like elections, issues, etc.) will also take place. These "last Wednesday" meetings typically take place in room 258 at McNally Smith College of Music (MSCM), which is located at 19 Exchange Street, directly across from the Fitzgerald Theatre in downtown St. Paul. A municipal parking ramp is available at the northwest corner of Wabasha & Exchange Streets.
MEETING EXCEPTIONS:
In November, MAS will only meet on the second Tuesday.
In December, MAS will only meet on the second Tuesday.
