national Booking Ring

oat	Date: August 23, 2002 @ 12:56 PM Odelay out there, yer pal Ethan in sunny, hot, Austin Texas here throwing out an idea. I have started working with a group of local bands to amplify our booking opportunities. Most of us have a club or two that we have a good relationship with. here in ustin we have been putting that to good use. Got a list of clubs tied to a list of player contacts to get in the door. We having been trading 10% back and forth on the shows for making the calls and booking the gigs. As you may well know it is far easier to book someone elses band as opposed to your own. By using musicians that have good relations with clubs we increase the chances of getting booked. I am willing to trade contacts and bookings. If you would like to be a part of this let me know at ethan@oatpublishing.com. Peace E

pog	Date: August 28, 2002 @ 6:59 PM The best way to secure gigs is good old fashoned canvassing, but the whole networking/swapping contacts thing enhances this...
