On April 24th there will be a grand opening of the MIM in Phoenix, AZ. I met the President and Director this past weekend at a Bob James concert. The museum will have a 299 seat venue for live performances. They sought the aassistance of Manchester Craftmen's Guild Director, Marty Ashby to for live performances and review venue construction.
