We're going to be hosting a raffle, there are a lot of details on that one. Basically the run down is this. $5 raffle tickets, for a chance to get $50 in gift certificates to the Local Highrise once we're open. Bands are given the chance to convince their fans to sell them, and the band with the most raffle ticket sales will be booked for a show with absolutely ZERO showcost. Not bad for simply posting a bulletin or mentioning it at a show.
We're also updating a Livejournal for everyone who would like the updates as we get them. http://localhighrise.livejournal.com/ We'll be beginning construction soon, and we'll be adding pictures of the progress, as well as any of the bands who come down to help out. Because even rock stars know how to get dirty.
http://www.localhighrise.com has a tagboard which is good for talking with the people who are working directly within this project. Any suggestions or questions are best said there.
This is a rare oppourtunity for the folks of Baltimore. This is the first time I've ever heard of where a place is being built around the needs of those who will be going to it, so it is a good idea to get on early to make sure you give us any feedback and make sure we really know what you want, and that you're there for us.
Bands, if you're going to be playing here once we open, make sure your fans know what's going on. Odds are they wont buy tickets if they've never heard of this place.
This is getting long, send us any comments/messages/AIMs/emails/tags if you have anything you'd like to say.
