Gear Loan is nothing new to GR!C.  Each year we loan our rockin’ campers guitars, basses and drum kits to use in their homes year round.  However, since we’re growing so darn fast and doubled our camper base this year (yay!), we needed to take a little break to inventory our gear, spruce it up, and regroup.  Thankfully that’s almost done and we’re ready to kick-off the 2010-2011 gear loan season with Gear Day!  ALL 2010 Girls Rock! and Ladies Rock campers are eligible to borrow gear, though you have to act fast as all loans are first come, first served.

But wait!  That’s not all.  Gear Day is so much more than gear loan itself.  We’ll also have items from our current inventory that are no longer used in our curriculum for sale at rock bottom prices! We’ll be accepting tax-deductible donations of your new or used instruments, or we can even make a trade!  All that gear goodness, plus a yummy bake sale and live music from GR!C campers & more.  Come for your gear, stay for the afternoon.  And most certainly bring your friends!

So, without further ado, join us at The Hideout on Sunday, September 26 for fabulous performances from Girls Rock! campers & camper bands Oceans of Air, Ruadhan Ward, Evil Minions, and When Flying Feels Like Falling.  This event is family friendly and FREE - just be sure you’re accompanied by an adult if you’re under 21.

For more information about gear loan, buying, selling, trading, or donating instruments, contact our stellar gear team at gear@girlsrockchicago.org with all your burning questions.

This Saturday, Exit presents to you a full DJ lineup of Chicago’s finest ladies. A portion of the bar as well as crowd donations will all go to benefit Girls Rock! Chicago.
