I live about 35 minutes south of the venue...I\'m going to do what I can to get into Indy and put flyers up in the music stores downtown. I\'m also working on connections with 2 independent radio stations in town that play classic rock/jammy stuff. I just don\'t know how much airtime these stations are going to devote to the show...if they do, however, I\'m going to see if they\'ll squeeze in a mention of the boys along with Gomez. I\'ll be going to 2 other shows at this venue in the near future (Umphrey\'s/Bisco on June 10th, Allman Bros/Derek Trucks Band on June 20th) so I might pass out some handbills outside the venue as people walk in.
I have a feeling that the Grass Pass was a successful marketing tool and that a lot of people bought them. You get 5 shows for $100 with NO convenience charges. (The 3 shows I mentioned plus Phil and Friends in July and WSP in August). A lot of Indy heads on PT bought theirs already. Because a lot of the same people will be going to all the shows, passing out flyers/Digests at the 2 preceding shows seems like my best move at the moment. I won\'t be able to drive for at least 3 weeks because of surgery, let alone walk all over downtown flyering unless someone goes with me.
I\'m counting on my extreme outgoingness and ridiculously good looks to get people interested at the other shows. (Kidding!
)
All I know is that I\'m really the only Breakfast fan in a 200-mile radius, so you can bet your life I\'m going to do my part.
