dave, i noticed you are handing out sample cd\'s during thier set, do you think it would be better to do it beforehand in the campground so people will listen to them and then go see them on sat. night?  just a thought

not a bad idea.. my thinking behind it though is that there\'s gonna be a ton of people watching the band, and their jaws are gonna be on the floor.. then they\'re gonna go see moe., and 10 more bands on sunday, and we\'ll never hear from them again.. i say hit them with something tangible while their jaws are on the floor, so that they leave and DON\'T forget the b\'fast on the way home..

maybe a little bit of both though.. we\'ll see..

Beforehand for both CD\'s and Digests is good cause it\'s a good way to promote the band before they go on.  Let\'s face it: The show will be great, but there will be a lot of people at moe.down NOT watching the Breakfast...unless we get \'em beforehand.  During the show or immediately afterwards has its benefits too, but making messed up people watch over that stuff all night is no good.  If you hit \'em Friday or early Saturday before the show, they will put the stuff where they know where it is, then go to see what all the hype is about, and go running back for the stuff after they see the show.

I think the beforehand thing doesn\'t really work out because in my case at least, when i\'m at a festival, popping in a random cd is the least of my concerns.  at least giving them out during the set, you know the people are already somewhat into it and will probably hold onto it if they like what they see.  i get handed cd\'s at shows all the time, and i manage to hold on to them until later.  whether or not i get around to listening to them is another story.

Perhaps if folks attending moe.down if they have the means to set up a "Disco Bus" esque situation like at dead shows might be the best way. late night friday after raq. just be cranking The Breakfast in the campground and make it a late night dance party thing.

Just have some of the most killer live breakfast with face melting jams etc. People always looking for a party, give it to them

generator and a decent sound system is all you need.

Hell spend like $40 - 50 and get some free beer to give away care of the Breakfast. people eat that stuff up

Ahh the Disco Bus. Many nights after the show getting down!! Just goes to prove there was NOTHING like a GD show!

at least giving them out during the set, you know the people are already somewhat into it and will probably hold onto it if they like what they see.

A very good point.  Hate to waste perfectly good (and costly) Digests and CD\'s on people who just won\'t care.  There\'s really equal upside to each.  In my mind\'s eye, I picture the same thing as Dave: giving them out during and immediately after the show when everyone\'s face is owned, icing on the cake of Breakfast glory.  So that\'s probably the way to go.
