You can watch streetjelly shows without joining, but non-members can't use the chat window to communicate with the performers. The chat window is fun, well worth the price of membership (free)

also, once you're a member, you can make somebody like Jo or Kevin a FAVORITE... in which case, you'll be notified by email any time they schedule an appearance

But even if you don't join, one of the forum members who is also a jellyfish will post scheduled performances of other forum members. So if you see that this thread has been bumped to the top of the forum, check to see if it contains new performance dates
