Do you guys pay for the handbills? how much do they charge you at Kinkos?

No handbills...

Handbills with discs on the other hand

That\'s my promotional strategy-of-choice for the S.F. shows. I\'m probably going to be spending a big portion of my weekend deciding on the tracks for a sampler, then burning the entire 100-disk spindle I purchased.

In order to reach more potential fans, I\'m limiting the distribution to one cd per handbill. I\'d love to give people complete shows and 3-disk Easter Eggs, though a compilation of good live tunes should do the trick. I may even buy more disks once my first hundred are gone, though I\'m sure burning 100 disks will be a long process.

I\'m trying to strike a balance between funk, epic rock, etc. I think I\'m going to outline my sampler by listing my favorite renditions of a bunch of tunes then selecting the best from there.

^^you\'d have to give a track list too though, and that\'s on dead trees

Not necessarily... Anyone who really cares would hop online and check out the setlist.

just put a .info on it and a post on here a thread or whatever with track dates, track names and a link to the archiev.

ya cd\'s is the way to go, i know hence my grassroots thread. I\'ll burn discs all night but i only have so much money to just throw around.

The key is to buy the cheapest generic crap out there. You\'ll get some coasters, but at the same time saving a tons of money.

if i get handed a free cd at a show, i\'m not really gonna put any effort into it. if it ain\'t all on the disc or on a sleeve, then odds are i\'m not gonna find out.

not necessarily. i never pay more than 7.99 for a 100 spindle of good cd-rs.

If you are looking for dvd+rs check out ESA brand at circuit city. they arent that expensive when they are on sale.
