I walked through the neighborhood and put up posters for an upcoming show. It's nitty-gritty street-level work. I have my usual places: record store, favorite Thai restaurant, very cool hair salon, my home-base coffee-shop. The poster looks good. Big and colorful and very "art-full." And it's the debut of our whitewolfsonicprincess character.
We are trying to "brand the band" as this one thing.
It seems like the good work; promoting a show. Still, you wonder if it does any good? How many people will actually see the poster? How many will actually come to a show? It sort of seems like putting a message in a bottle and tossing it in the ocean. It's kind of Don Quixote-ish. Seems I'm always out there hanging with the windmills.
But it's also a way of drawing a mark in the sand and saying: "We were here!" And we will be there!
