Update on the ProLo!

As of October 1, 2012 The Project Lodge left its longtime spot at 817 East Johnson Street. The good people at Good Style Shop moved in, & their independent spirit and creative energy marks the ideal evolution of that address. 

We are still seeking a new home with good acoustics, plentiful light, and 1700+ square feet on the Near East Side of Madison- if you know of a great space, let us know! 

Keep an eye on widiy.org for future shows at alternative spaces- and check our Facebook profile for updates as to our future home.

In the meantime, you can reach Bessie Cherry at 608.354.2587 or bessie.cherry@gmail.com.

ProLo Postcards!

Our double FB page

Hey guys!
Quite a while ago now FB did not have an option for business pages (or at least, not a great one) so we hooked ourselves up with a regular ol' person account. But its the dawning of a new age and we think its time we laid our ProLo page to rest and just stick to The Project Lodge business page! So! In hopes that we don't lose or connection to our friends we want to make sure ya'll switch over and "Like" the business page instead. Thank you! See you on the FB.

THANK YOU THANK YOU!

With 208 backers the Project Lodge happily, gratefully, and excitedly reached our Kickstarter funding goal (plus some!). We can't begin to express our gratitude. Thank you to everyone who donated! Thank you to everyone who came to one of our benefit shows! Thank you to anyone who's ever come to an event at ProLo! We are so appreciative!

<3 ProLo

Happy Valentines Day!

Wanna give your sweetie somethin' different for Valentines day? Well, my friend, not only do you get the Pro Lo Compilation CD, a sweet postcard, BUT you'll get a singing telegram by one or more Project Lodge volunteer. We're less than $1000 away from our goal. Donate to the Kickstarter at the $50 level (or more), send some love and put us over the top!
