Year 2 Week #6 The Mishap Talent Show - Party

This weeks project was to do some work on the Mishap Talent Show.

I contacted four venues about doing something there.

The Make Out Room

Amnesia

Cafe Du Nord

and

The Uptown in Oakland

I haven't heard back from any of them yet but it's only been a couple of days.

I also intend on contacting Cafe Du Van Kleef soon about maybe doing it there.

Week #38 Mishap For Hire - Service

For the past fifteen years or so me and a bunch of my friends have put on shows and released records and books under the banner of “Mishap Productions”. Over all this time we’ve developed certain skills that aid us in the promotion of events and products.

We can take a poster or postcard from concept to printing in under a week. We know enough visual artists and graphic designers to create pretty much any promotional item. We know all the places to send a press release or put up a poster.

My idea is to offer these skills as a service to other independent artists out there. We’d offer any level of promotion you need. From developing and executing an entire campaign of print and web promotions to simply doing small amount of postering for you. Depending on how much you want to spend, what you’ve already done or can do yourself and how many people you want to reach we’d be able to accommodate pretty much anything.

All I’d need to really get this going is a dedicated website (maybe this one) and some fairly good copy for facebook and craigslist and I bet I could really get this thing rolling.
