Here’s the venue checklist, in both word and PDF format. I’ll also be uploading to Blackboard.

One thing confusing about the rider is that is seems to interchangeably refer to “Purchaser,” “Presenter,” and “Producer.” I’m pretty sure these can and often are different people, and that the venue itself is a completely separate entity that isn’t even mentioned here. So, I’m confused on what the VENUE is supposed to provide, and what the local organizing party (also the venue? Or the producer? or presenter? I don’t know, we didn’t talk about it in class) is supposed to provide.

For example, SOMEONE is supposed to provide transportation. Wouldn’t that NOT be the responsibility of the venue (which is simply providing a stage and assorted equipment), but instead the responsibility of… someone else.. (Us, the people arranging this, whatever our title is).

On the checklist, I tried to list the things that are only relevant to the venue. Mostly I’m unsure about transportation and food catering.
