Do you rip down Tick Tick posters?
09.16.08If you rip down Tick Tick posters and put them up in your living room, and then feel guilty about it, feel better by joining our new POSTER SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE!
We’re still working out the details, but beginning October 1, we’ll be offering a quarterly subscription service. For $50, you’ll receive a tube in the mail with ten or more limited edition, hand screen printed posters, signed and numbered. You will get posters, other art prints, who knows what else we might throw in the tube!
The first selling point here is that while the posters you ripped down are on crappy newsprint, these are on lovely, archival-quality poster paper. Someday, you might be able to sell them on e-bay for way more!
The second selling point is that money from poster subscriptions goes directly to support Tick Tick’s booking work. Tick Tick booking is a labor of love, which is a nice way of saying that it doesn’t make any money. Because we book in alternative venues (which we love to do) and don’t charge high ticket prices (because we don’t want to), and because gas is expensive, and because we want to book bands who aren’t wildly famous, it is very very hard to make any sort of money at the door at a show.
The money from your subscription will go towards buying poster paper for these lovely show posters, towards paying off the new PA that we bought this summer (which is what allows us to do shows in alternative venues and have them sound ok), enable us to pay every band we book a reasonable amount of money, and give us the flexibility to take chances on bands that are a little bit more expensive than we can normally afford. And those are the shows that could totally BLOW YOUR MIND!
Soon there will be more details and a little paypal button up on the webby for you. And don’t forget to come to the shows too. All we really want is to enjoy some excellent music from out of town, in your company! Check our shows page for all the details on the upcoming.
