Music stores, CD stores, your school, other schools, any place where people who like the same music as you may hang out?

Are you gonna be indier-than-thou?

Coffee shoppes. The only answer.

Telephone poles.

Seriously. I think posters stapled to telephone poles around town here get noticed more than anywhere else.

They give you a ticket for littering if you do that shit up here.

Probably here, too--but only if they catch you! Seriously, they're plastered all over those things, especially close to downtown.

I should take some photos of these around town and post them here... Nah, that's boring...

You could tattoo them on your forehead and then have them laser removed every time you have a new gig.

You could also use a heavy duty staple gun and staple index card-sized adverts to you forehead for hours of fun!

how about try the fucking paper?

Well, that would be pretty easy, since presumably one would have put one's contact info right on the flyer!

Not ones of a certain type, the type that just advertise band, venue, time of show, etc. There's no personal info on the sign about who stapled the poster to the pole. Could be anybody, any fan with an interest in the band. A band can't be held liable for what its out-of-control fans might do.

Duuhhh...

Band-aids are applied directly to the laceration.

Band ads are affixed to an indoor bulletin board or outdoor kiosk.

Savage Clone · 10.23.2006, 04:32 PM

There are some municipalities that will fine the venue if posters for shows at their establishment are put up illegally by anyone. I don't know what the rules are on that here.

gmku · 10.23.2006, 04:34 PM

That's nuts. I don't see how that'd ever hold up in court. Oh, wait a minute, we live in Bush's America now where everything has stopped making sense.

Never mind...

Besides, all the cops here are too busy with PAULAs in the downtown bars...

So? You may teach each other something. Enlightenment is beautiful.
