Since the 4 Acoustic Soup Nights until the end of the year will all be fund-raisers, if people would like to contribute, it would be good if they came and helped man the bar… or helped to set up beforehand, or clean up afterward. Any co-op member volunteering in this way will get a stamp on their membership card.

The last four Acoustic Soups of this year are also evolving into fundraisers for the Food Co-op, which is facing many financial mountains with the new premises. Even more reason to eat, drink and be merry, listen to great music, and know your pennies are funding the betterment of the community institution the Food Co-op is. Now onto the important stuff….

This month’s soups;
Honey roasted carrot soup with ginger
Cuban black bean soup

Price:
Full price: $8.50
Members/students: $7

Time: 6:30 – 9:30pm
Date: Wednesday 1 September 2010

This is the last event held in the Co-op’s current location – new premises will be moved into well and truly before the October edition of Acoustic Soup. If you wish to volunteer, please email acousticsoupnight@gmail.com – help is always welcome, and you can earn stamps for signing up. Also, if you wish to perform, please try to contact us before the night. Not that you can’t play if you just rock up, but it’s good to know who’s playing beforehand, and let everybody else know too!

We will be cooking up on Wednesday 11 August, and this month it’s good old-fashioned pumpkin and a chickpea soup with Moroccan flavours.

Come down and enjoy and/or perform, eat some healthful soup to warm you from the winter cold, and support the Food Co-op.

Performers always wanted! Come and play a couple of songs, or if you would like to earn a bowl of yum for free do a longer set (20 mins minimum). Any type of performer(s) welcome – musos, poets, circus acts, mimes, comedians…….

Students/Members $7 Non-Members $8.50

Email acousticsoupnight@gmail.com for enquiries or to book a performance place on the night. Or find the group on Facebook: Acoustic Soup at the Food Co-op.  Look forward to seeing you there!!

Due to busy lives, Mark and Heidi do not have time to run Acoustic Soup this year but because of it’s popularity and constant enquiries regarding its return, we would love Acoustic Soup to continue…So, would YOU like to be part of the team? It basically needs two people to run it – to be there from about 3pm -11pm on the day/night and includes rearranging the shop floor, cooking the soup and bread, setting up the PA (unless you want it to be totally acoustic), manning the till, keeping everyone happy and washing and cleaning up at the end of the night. It’s hard but rewarding work. One person also needs to be in charge of ordering the soup ingredients from the co-op. There has also been the suggestion that there is a collective of people running this – this is also a possibility, as long as one main person is taking care of food ordering and is a good liaison person between the soup team and the co-op. The new team would have to meet with the co-op to make sure the co-op is happy and for things to run smoothly.

If interested Mark and Heidi can train you and help you out on the first couple of nights.

Leave a comment and someone will get back to you.

Acoustic Soup is on again as per usual (Wednesday nights from 6pm) and the soup is……

“Soothing (and a little spicy) organic red lentil and vegetable soup”, with freshly baked corn bread.

Frozen soup will also be available for sale in 650ml biodegradable bamboo containers.  Check the shop freezer from Thursday.

See you there!?!

Don’t forget we always have open mic spots available. Performers can
just do a couple of songs for their first time if they prefer…..or those that do a 20 minute set get free soup. Soup starts off at 6pm.

We plan soon to also be selling 1/2 litre portions of frozen organic soup….more details to come.
