All Event and "Bar Night" Organizers Only!!

Hit the web hard for advertising if you're near a decent metro area. The forums here, of course, as well as Scorehero, Facebook, Myspace, and Twitter are the vast majority of my marketing. I also advertise in a few local entertainment magazines but they really don't bring a turnout. (Side note: Why do I spend $400 a month on useless ads?)

We do the same thing here in Austin at Elysium on Tuesdays.

It has been pretty fun, and so far has worked out. As for our setup we have,

2 Wireless guitars,
Wired RB mic (since someone broke one of our other mics, went back to el cheapo)
1 Wireless Drum kit (RB2/ debating on Ion, setup)
2 Projectors, one behind stage and one slightly off center near stage right.
We use the Xbox 360 well because it is cheaper than the PS3.

2 DJs for entertainment between song selection,
About 4-5 "House musicians" to fill in if a full band cannot be located for a person.
well over 400 songs and a constantly updated set of lists organized by song, band, and recent additions.

I noticed in ur pic the tv is mounted on a stand.

What stand is that?

Also, how did you mount the tv for the drummer?

What hardware did you use and where did you find them?

Thanx in advance.

The link doesnt work but my front 42" tv is mounted on a modified portable amp stand http://accessories.musiciansfriend.c...and?sku=451065 and the drum tv is mounted with a combo of a modified conductors stand http://accessories.musiciansfriend.c...and?sku=450253 and a broken and used bass drum that cost about $20 from a used music store. I work in a sheet metal shop so it is easy to modify stuff like this.

Can anyone comment on how much it costs to have 100% of DLC?

I noticed you mentioned you had a couple of bugs to work out.
Can you share what they were?

Yeah, DLC costs will pile up, but in the long run they are a standard operating cost (and you can always write them off). $800 is the cumulative cost for about a year and a half's worth of DLC; it's better to realize you're looking at about $50 a month, which even hosting one show a month can come directly from your fee.

Currently, I have about 80% of DLC. Every few weeks I throw about $50 into the store, buy any albums first, packs containing well-known songs, then single songs (i.e. not available in a pack) that are well-known, then I start working on my backlog of "unpopular" DLC.

Where is everybody in this thread located?

[Klubby]

We are in Chicago.

[LiquidKourage]

Also in Chicago, but more focused on the suburban market. That's why Klubby and I are allowed to be friends, rather than slashing each other's tires
