ollie Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 how hard is it to put up some fucking letters?Have you tried PM-ing the Mavericks account? It's probably too late now in terms of drumming up business but it would be nice if it's there for the band to see. Otherwise their fist impression might be: "Why are they advertising a show for Oct 19?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freak By Night Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Mavericks is really lame in their marketing and promotion. Their website is almost always out of date too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AD Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Mavericks is really lame in their marketing and promotion. is mavericks the promoter for this show or just the venue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-towns Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 I would assume they are resposible for changing their signs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 of course they are.are they the promoter for this show or just the venue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-towns Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 what does it matter? Wouldn't a venue want to promote a show at said venue whether they are the promotor or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 it doesn't matter, but i'm just asking a simple question because FBN said they were lame in their promotion and marketing. I was asking if they were the promoter for the show, because if not, the venue (in a perfect world) wouldn't be responsible for the promotion. what's your beef?

c-towns Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 it seems as if your question is my beef, carry on my wayward son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freak By Night Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 I was referring to their marquee and their website, which is almost always out of date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 it's not rhetorical, i'm really asking. i don't know the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-towns Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 I think you were asking to try and prove a point to someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ollie Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 it doesn't matter, but i'm just asking a simple question because FBN said they were lame in their promotion and marketing. I was asking if they were the promoter for the show, because if not, the venue (in a perfect world) wouldn't be responsible for the promotion. what's your beef?They are not the promoter as far as I know.It's still in their interest to get as many warm bodies inside to sell them beer though. They may not be promoting the show but they should be promoting their bar by way of promoting the show, at least within their means. i.e. marquee, web site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freak By Night Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 I'm somewhat bitter at Mavericks because when I was unemployed 4 years ago, I offered my website abilities to them for a very reasonable rate, and they basically told me to go away.

bradm Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 To anyone who's been at either of the Toronto or Hamilton Garaj Mahal shows: does GM have merch for sale (i.e., were they able to get it across the border)? I'm trying to figure out how to budget my pocket money for tonight, and if they have merch, I'll probably want to have some more cash in my wallet.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
