Gigs this Friday and Saturday? (1 Viewer)

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

I was just pointing out that not everyone uses facebook.

The threads have a good few views,who knows how many of those people use facebook.

The best way to promote a gig in the present world is to use all available options. Same as it's always been.

The best way to promote a show is to make a thread on the various forums, make an event page on facebook and put up a few posters in prime locations in town. That's the basics then you ad event listings on various blogs and publiciations. Leaving people out is kinda bizarre when it's so hard to get people into gigs in the first place.

here - what i'll try to do is filter the gigs you see on the Upcoming Events sidebar there so only stuff on the Eirecore Events forum shows up there when you're on this forum.

You may now consider yourselves incentivised to post your gigs there.

so this Outcasts gig,what time does it start? and is it one of those gigs that goes on to a million o'clock ?

 

[washingcattle]

I think both in Fibbers....
Where FB can't compete with Forums, although no bumps or original posts of said gigs?

New look forums suck but then again we say that about every new forum layout.

oh yeah this new layout is horrid, why change it, is it somehow better than the one before?

agree on the laypout,

pete: Could this be the final nail in the coffin of eircore ?


please ?

I find the new layout offputting. Everything just blends into one making it very bland.


Bring back the black.

well that'll take me a bit longer... needs a bit of custom coding.

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

Outcasts were really great,Paranoid Visions were pretty good too.


Thanks Janer for letting me know,I would have missed it otherwise.

 

[Janer]

It is my birthday little over 2 weeks.

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

Ha,mine is in exactly two weeks.

 

[nooleen]

facebook has notifications for that

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

That's no use to me. I'll remember it anyway.

who said it was all?? I'm just looking at it from a simple logical point of view of the best way to promote a show in the present world, and 4 guys here are feeling left out because they left themselves out.

I'm not feeling left out by not being FB, couldn't care less; but I would like someone to sabotage it & fuck it up for a day or two to see how people would cope,kids these days are addicted to it - FOMO - I read about it - fear of missing out - fuck facebook look what it's doing to the children!
Agreed,promote a gig by all means disposable to you - I don't personally do FB (fuckin bag o shite), but I do get Sligo gigs listed there by people who do use it. Also as Moose said, poster the town in prominent places,fliers at other gigs,email lists,texts,online listings,local papers,word of mouth, FB can not replace all these methods of communication & as a non user (there are many) events promoted only through FB are missing out on potential attendees.
I saw a cartoon, two blokes standing at a graveside with the priest, looking down at the coffin, bloke says "I don't understand it, he had 5,463 friends on facebook"
