Attention bands: BOOKING YOUR BAND

1.) When sending a message about a date you would like to book follow these guidelines:
- Send the booking message only from your band's myspace account. It acts as your Press Kit/Demo.
- Put the date you would like to book as the subject or at the top of your message.
- Keep the message history on messages. Do not start with new messages every time you send a reply back. Keep all re:'s on the message. - If you don't get a reply, don't give up there. , just sent the same message every day until you get a response. NOTE: Don't send 10 messages in a row, that just pisses us off.
- If you want one of your friends bands to play with you on the same day you play, they must send us a message. They don't book with your band, they book with us. If they do not send us a message and ask for the spot, They are NOT booked.

2.) Nobody here cares if you've played the Ernie ball stage at the Warped tour or if you have shared the stage with the biggest top 40 pop band in history. Keep that info on your myspace page and not in your messages. You don't need to try to impress us to play a show.

3.) Don't bring 100 other people with you and expect them to get in for free. we will let you make out a guest list. it's usually 3 per band . This includes merch people.

4.) GARAUNTEE'S: We don't usually do this as a general rule of thumb but if I really like your band or you have some sort of kick ass event planned then maybe we can work something out.

5.) PAY: There must be a minimum of 50 show goers that have paid to get in before i can afford to pay the bands. The more people that show the more likely you are to make a few bucks. Keep in mind we have bills to pay. PROMOTE YOUR DAMN SHOW!
6.) Zombies are not allowed into the venue. Keep your zombie outside and tied to a leash. If you sneak a zombie into the venue and he eats the brains of a patron then we are not to be held responsible. Werewolfs also fall into this catagory. We do not have a permit to house werewolfs or the undead.
7.) If bands get caught bringing in alcohol you will be booted from the show nair to return. If you want to drink (and you are of the legal drinking age) get with me later as I would be glad to join you after a show at one of the many bars in the area.
8.) For the love of god stop asking me "can you book a local band on such and such date so we will have a crowd?" No shit. i never thought of that. you must be a fucking genius to have come up with that idea.
9.) We have a P.A. You do not need to bring anything unless you intend on swinging the mic around like a jackass. you can do that if you want but only if you bring your own mic and cables. And no, I wont turn off all the lights because you brought your portable laser light show.
10.) WE DO NOT DO SHOWS DURING THE WEEK UNLESS I REALLY WANT TO. IN MOST CASES I DO NOT WANT TO SO STOP ASKING.
11.)Trolls do not exsist? Then how do you explain the dead Unicorns?
12.) If your entire band cant get here before the show starts, then dont book the show.
13.) PAY OUT. If we have a crowd less than 50 than nobody gets paid. Period.
14.) NO I wont run your Ipod for you. If you absolutely have to use your Ipod for your set then bring an extra amp or speaker to run it through, then i will just mic the amp/speaker. if you do not bring something for your ipod then you will have to do without. -Justin-
