4th Annual DIY (Do-It-Yourself/Do It Together) Festival
April 9-11 2004

DIY is a 3 day festival full of workshops, skillshares, discussions and FUN! Where we teach and share information about how to do things yourself. This is a great time to network, organize and share happenings from around the region. DIY promotes sustainability and allows individuals to learn to rely on themselves instead of our capitalist consumer society.

The Wire: a community resource collective (our local infoshop) will be our
information center for the weekend. Come to the Wire when you come into town on Friday night.
The Wire is located at 21 Kern St and the phone number is (740) 589-5111.

Directions to THE WIRE: 1. When you get to Athens, exit the highway at Stimson Avenue heading into Athens city limits. 2. Follow Stimson Avenue through one stop light and one stop sign. 3. Just before the 2nd stop light and just past Bob's IGA turn left onto Kern Street. 4. The big building on the corner (to your right after you turn onto Kern Street) of Stimson and Kern Street is home to Homegirlz Beautique and The Wire. 5. You can park, at least temporarily in Bob's IGA parking lot and come into The Wire to check in. 6. The Wire is located upstairs. The easiest (and only) way to get to it is to go into the loading dock area and in the door to the right, then up the stairs. 7. There will be signs pointing you in the right direction. 8. Everything you need to know about Athens, the meetings, food, housing, etc. will be available to you when you get in town.
