Adventures in sponsorship

Battle of the Bands

This is the rough draft version of our submission poster for Battle of the Bands....The final one will be released when we get sponsors.

Mac, Amy and I went out to try and find some sponsorships for Battle of the Bands in March. First we went to Outlaw Guitars, the guy was super rushed and not wanting to hear what we had to say. We might go back to shmooze him more.
We went into ESP sound and talked with Checker, one of the owners, he seemed interested. He might need a little bit of a rub down to get involved. HE complained in detail as to why all the Battle of the Bands in the past didnt go over well, or as he put it, "I can always pick out the winner before the show even happens." So what we may do is have him take more ownership in this particular BOB, so that ESP sponsors it and he can be involved so that ours doesnt suck (like ones in the past?!?!)


(picture a more old-school style with cords everywhere)
The best part of the trek was stopping in at the Recording Center on Pine street. I get the feeling this guy doesn't talk to many people during the day. He showed us what he was working on and explained what mastering is. 45 minutes later, we managed to get out of there with $50 donated to our club. What a nice guy!

We still have to visit Club Shmed and find recording time. Any other ideas?
