I don't have anything but Office Pro.

I don't have a scanner.

I ain't gonna draw it if I can help it.

I don't have a good idea yet.

We got a new regular gig, every other wednesday for 8 weeks minimum, at a friend's bar. It's a really cool place, they've never had live music, and I'm looking forward to it. We should be able to get away with better, more obscure stuff there (fewer requests for Dave Matthews, "Bobby McGee," and Jimmy Buffit, all of which we say no to anyway).

I have the logo for the bar from his website. I have some random pics of Busty and I, including that mongerous one of him leering over his girlfriend's shoulder now that I think about (must... resist...). Otherwise it's text or clip art.

Help me keep this from sucking.

I'm going through older photos now from a backup disc off the last computer. Getting some better material to work with.

I remember your work from a post a few months back, actually. It was the polished, professional kind of product I cannot possibly hope to imitate.

Ok, decision time. Do I go "serious" and just have pics, black background, bar logo, some mildly humorous text, etc., or do I go with this (w/ text and such)...

if you're not a "name draw" then i think that the minimalist approach is too easy for passers-by to ignore.

If you can sit tight until later today when I get home and settled, I might have a few things you can use.

I don't know dude, I'd probably go with that picture. IT FUNGY! We can still take Fu up on his offer for soem flyers for Madison's or future Hawk's flyers as well.

I think that's a great first flyer picture.

Here's what I got so far...

[img][388:500]http://img154.echo.cx/img154/5545/flyer3uu.jpg[/img]

I need to mention the dates at the bottom, but there's a witty line just itching to be put down there somewhere too. I've thought about fake quotes of praise, or just straight-ahead quips.

Thoughts?

Different picture of me please. Why do you always choose pictures where I'm making some sort of face? Just use the one you put on the obner revealed page.

NOT THE MONGER ONE OF ME!!! The other one.

I might even go with no photos of either of you, actually. It lends to the mystique.

Dammit I thought that was the best picture of your ugly ass I had. How's this, then?
