Anyone want to give ol' Dingey a hand?

I’ve hung lots of flyers over the last several weeks for the impending ? show.  Would anybody be willing to take a pile and select a part of town to hit?  I am relatively sure that lots of them that I’ve already hung have probably been postered over by now and could use refreshing. 

As you can see, I’m a bit burned out on the whole schlemiel.   Anybody wanna hang some crap up?  I’m honestly at the point where I don’t know (beyond the downtown) which establishments actually allow flyering.  Are they few and far between or is it my imagination?  Anybody know the campus areas well enough to hit em?   I did CD warehouse and giant burritto whatever up there, as well as Rocketstar and….I can’t remember.  hell’s BALLS! I’m sure they could all be reflyered.

Although it seems like every time I go out lately I see one of those flyers, so I’m not sure I know of any places that you haven’t already hit. Maybe you can give me a list of where you remember posting them, and I’ll see if I know of any places you missed??

Last weekend I saw a flyer for the show there.

I was just going to ask if you needed any help with that. Or something like that. I don’t know if they allow such things in Portage, nor am I even aware where you would hit. I also don’t know why I’m thinking about Portage at all, perhaps because I have seen a lot of flyers about my usual hangouts. But yeah, call me up! Give me hints. I used to be the terror of WMU with my staple gun.

I’m such an old woman.  I don’t even know where to park to put one in W*DR.  Like I say, I did send a press release to Andr*w for concert calendar. 

I just realized that I let Dusty drive off this morning with the sac-o-flyers in his car. 

And, yes, I hit Martini’s.  Not likely to get flyered over there. 

I’m thinking that probably all the campus area locations that anyone can think of could get hit again.  Wiz, like you, I tried to think of Portage spots and couldn’t other than grocery store bulletin boards……If you’d be willing to revisit WMU’s campus?  That would be AWESOME?  As awesome as uptalking?

It’s getting harder all the time to think of places that allow flyering…..If you’d be interested, I cold probably swing by early this evening and drop some off for you.  You lifesaver!

what are these flyers you speak of?

Submitted by Kapn on Tue, 05/01/2007 - 12:22pm.

Just kidding… when you’re burned out it’s not that funny tho’, is it?

Friday afternoon, I went flyering with the stash I had after the library lost power (along with several other blocks of downtown businesses - after a couple of hours the library shut ‘er down).  I hit Michigan News Agency, Dancing Cranes, whatever is or was the rock climbing place, and Something’s Brewing - all have posted the flyers.  I wanted to hit Terrapin but they were closed - I still have a few and can get one to them.  I can try Ripe (or whatever it is now).  I think the Union only posts flyers for their shows and WMU events, wouldn’t hurt to try, I can hit them too.

I drove to CD Warehouse to see if they needed a flyer, one was already up.  Among other campus locales, both Jimmy John’s post flyers, I can hit them both.  I’ll be on WIDR tomorrow (Nonchalant Cafe Hour), at this point I don’t know if it’s an in-person or phone interview (depends on who can cover for me at work), if it’s in-person I’ll certainly get a flyer or two to get posted in the studio.

I didn’t post at downtown locales I thought had been hit (Polly and Esther’s, Tommy’s, etc.), but as I’m right downtown, I can hit those and any other places in case they didn’t get flyers.

Friday is Art Hop, I know Jeff M’s posted about his upcoming exhibit that night at Park Trades, maybe there’s a way to post there or at other galleries/spaces?

May I add here - as I’ve been so incommunicado - I REEEALLY appreciate all the time and effort everyone’s given to get the word out about this show and help make it happen.  I am SO looking forward to an awesome night hanging with everyone who makes it out!  See you there!

Nathan just yesterday reminded ourselves that we gotta BUY tickets in advance—or should, anyway. Just thought I’d mention it here in case any of you guys forgot and the show got sold out by the time you shewed up that night.

Don’t buy them online! Stupid surcharge …

that’s why kraftbrau’s phone numbah and website are on the flyers and the press release, etc. I never thought to explicitly spell out that advance tickets were available.  My bad.  TICKETS!  I still haven’t done this myself!  Gotta Gotta Gotta buy me a ticket.  A golden ticket.

Uh, we are going to be in K’zoo tomorrow night. Anyone wanna pick up TimH and I a ticket and we’ll gladly pay you back - that is, if you’re picking some up for yourself?  I guess I could use the new-fangled InterWeb to procure tickets but I don’t know how to work it. The Interwebs, that is. I know how to work *it* just fine. See you wonderful folks tomorrow.

Putcha dang down stickitt and reverse it!

So far, tickets are not sold out.  Nope.  Sales are good, but I think it’s mostly gonna be walk-up.  How early are you getting into town tomorrow?  I could probably pick you kids up some tickets.  Then we’d need to rendezvous….or you could just swang by the house.  The boys’ll be practicing around 6 pm.

If I had my way we’d be in Kalamazoo at, like, 10 am but it’s not my show tomorrow. It’s the matron Hayden’s time. So, realistically probably around 7 or 8pm. Perchance we’ll make it earlier. If we for whatever reason don’t make it to the show tomorrow (possibly because someone’s in jail, in the hospital or just R-U-N-N-O-F-T) you can scalp the tickets for the  benefit of ? Mark.
