[Dynagroove] promoters/promotion

[Ami D.]

At Our House we don't mind people coming to promote for other nights. Mind
you we're only monthly now and I even host other Thursday nights on the
off weeks (i.e. tonight, Soul Titanium....come check it out, it's FREE!!).
Even when we were weekly it wasn't a big deal at all. In fact, if I liked
you...I'd pick up the flyers and re-post them on our "flyer table" the
next week. I figure that the only way you can make it happen for yourself
is to make it happen for others too. Working together is a blessing!!
Together being the key word there ;) If you have it ALL for yourself, then
you have nowhere else to go. Sharing is caring... and I don't even care if
I sound cheezy!

hey just curious...

how many promoters out there allow other promoters to come pass out flyers
on their nights?

(and this is excluding events the same night of...or whatever...that's
pretty much all accepted etiquette)

the reason i ask is that lately it seems, us promoters are being limited or
completely prevented from probably the very best way to get the word out
about our nights...hand to hand flyer promotion.

now i know the internet rox and all that jazz, but there are SOME people out
there (yes, the horror) that do not rock the internet on the constant like
so many of us.

i cant tell you how many instances i have found myself at the doors of my
peers' ventures being told to leave my flyers in the car. (in varying
degrees of friendliness, i add)

we do, and always will, have an open door policy at electric and gravity to
promoters. we respect the energy and effort involved in being out there
night after night...only getting a short time to chat and hopefully dance at
some very fun nights before moving on...but mostly, being the mighty
footsoldiers responsible for gathering up new recruits.

so my question to all of you who dont allow promotion:

 what's the deal? is it the club owners? is it fear that your crowd will
know there are other choices? not into cleaning up the mess? i am genuinely
curious...

for me, hell, i just clean all the flyers up at the end of the night...scoop
em into the can and they's gone.

...no biggie

well besides when the overzealous flyer pitcher comes in and veritably
baptises the room in some form of paper saturated shrine of excess...i mean,
really...if the club only holds a hundred people...and you only see fifty in
there....why on earth would you toss down like four hundred flyers on every
available surface?

PEOPLE!!! THE TREES!!!!

aside from that small rant...promote on! you are always welcome at electric
and gravity. spread the word, the love, stay and dance awhile...what have
you. we like it that way. keep up the good work!
