The press release idea is a great idea. For the MD show my brain has been working overtime because PR and promotions is what I love. I actually have connections at the Towson University Theatre and Arts department because I interned there for a year. I wrote endless press releases while I was there so thinking maybe I can get them to help me orchestrate doing a press release campaign of some sort. I also plan on taking out ads in the campus newspaper, probably not just the Towson University paper but also Loyola and Goucher colleges too which are down the road. I told Julie and Nicole about this idea, I also plan on nabbing some CDs (Yes I will pay for them) at the Vienna show and putting together a press release, CD and maybe some stickers and a button or two and going to actual radio stations and trying to convince them to give the CD a listen and maybe promote the show at Recher Theatre. Hoping it could even lead to the band being brought in for an interview by the stations like WRNR and others in MD that may be open to a new band. Definitely targeting Towson't radio station because it rocks!!! I’m also thinking of designing some flyers because my brother is a pretty great artist and we are brainstorming some flyer design ideas. I’m thoroughly enjoying this and love hearing others ideas too. Power in numbers baby !! -Liza

Hey Sam and all! Just wanted to let you know what I've been up to. First, I lost about 5 pounds because I've been utilizing my lunch breaks to call around and stuff. J/K So I called the Towson University in Maryland and got the OK to get the posters/flyers hung up around the campus. I can send them to the school or go in person. I'm going in person just to make sure it gets done. Also waiting on a call back from the guy that runs the school paper so that I can take an ad out promoting the show. I've been in touch with sexy sadie (captain). We will more than likely set up a time to meet and street team together around the area. I'll keep you posted on the progress. Take care! Nicole

Hey girl, I'll write this to you on MS later too but cool you contacted The Towerlight already. Check their website it has a list of ad rates, here's a link: http://www.thetowerlight.com/advertising/ Before you take out an ad out let me know because I was going to do the same thing but instead since we both want to do this why don't we pool our resources and we can get an even bigger ad. So basically we can see how much we can both afford and then combine it and get an even bigger ad because bigger is better but also more expensive. So with teamwork we can possibly get a bigger one. Oh and I plan on hitting Towson U next week @ some point to flyer it up. Would this weekend but the storm's coming in. But thanks for the heads up that they are cool with it. Did you want to come up the day of the show or before? I'm trying to figure out whether to take the day of the show off to street team. But with you on my team Nicole this is going to be awesome!! Recher's gonna rock! !! -LizaPS: No captain here we are equals in this!!

Oh man just missed the call from the guy who's in charge of the school's paper. But he did leave a message with his email addy so that I can contact him over the weekend. Sexie Sadie, I will def let you know about the ad, I'll look everything up tonight. Flyers and such....you will need to go to the office (info desk) located on the second level. John Adams is in charge, you have to clear it with the office prior to posting the flyers. They have to see it first. In that area there is a Two flyer limit. I was told this is the building all the students hang out in. When we hook up for street teaming, I'd like to hit the local bars, and places the college students hang out in. We should go on like a Friday or Sat night. I'll try to locate local college bars and find out what's a happening night and that would be our best bet. Not that I'm looking to party with college dudes Julie, I think I just got really lucky with this college, they actually return calls! I even had the student's activities office call back twice and left a message. I'm sure Alabama will be a great show... you've been working so hard on it! Keep ya posted!

Julie don't despair Nicole is right Towson is just great about returning calls. Going there I found out they love to promote the school in any way they can. Also you live so far away from Alabama it makes it harder but I'm sure you'll have a full house because with you street teaming for the show then there is bound to be success .Nicole, thanks for the info. He's right the Commons is the best place to hit up because all the students spend almost 24/7 there (that is in the same building as the info. desk) But there are soooooo many places around campus where students live and have to walk past that we have endless possibilities. Heck there is Johnny Unitas Stadium and an Arts Center too. I'm gonna call up my connection in the Theatre and Arts Department and see if they can hook us up too. But I know of several local places students hang out but feel free to call around too. A really big one is Bateman's which is technically on the college next to the parking garage and my friends and I used to always go there (It's a restaurant and bar). There is also alot of restaurants and places up the street like Bahama Breeze, places around the area like Razorbacks and Greene Turtle there is even a Barnes and Noble, Record and Tape Traders and other unconventional places we can hit too. If you want to go all out we can even hit places in Baltimore too. Girl I am so in my element so this should be easy to cover alot of territory. I'm also gonna try and take ads out in some other local papers too, so let me know if you want in on that action too. Also when do you think we should take ads out...like how far in advance? Also which Friday or Saturday are you planning on coming up? Do you mean the weekend before? But man I feel like we are gonna have this place packed in no time. Oh and you so don't wanna party w/TU students or we will be too drunk to work because lets just say I skipped many a lecture class to go to Bateman's and drink -Liza

Reposting the fancorps message sent out by the band here: Hey all, Hope you're well, So we head out again this Weds to do a handful of shows out East. We'll need your help in each area to get the shows promoted. You can download the posters and flyers from the site. You could even get creative and design your own flyers. Poster and leave flyers out in the surrounding areas. Concentrate mailnly on student areas, bars, deli's, shops, coffee shops, record stores. Windows looking out onto the street. Make sure the posters are in places that will insure they are not taken down between now and the show. Also contact the local radio stations and magazines. Let them know about the show and ask them to promote it and play 'In My Head'. Thanks for all your work guys!! You're the best, Lots of love, Your Vegas x |

Can I tell you how much I hate navigating through radio station web sites? I've been trying to email some of the stations in the Raleigh area and it is so hard to find contact information on some websites. And then once you do, who to email. I've been email programming directors but no one has responded back to me.Hopefully, we'll get into to town early enough in Raleigh so I'll be able to get some signs posted here, there and yonder around town. But hey, will do what needs to be done to get the word out!

I was just on the Boston.com website (it's the website for the boston globe) and there was a spot to input an event in the arts & entertainment section so I put up the 9/20 YV show. Here's the link if anyone wants to take a look. http://calendar.boston.com/boston-ma/event...4957-your-vegas |
