HELP!
Survival Of The Show Depends On You.

Everyone gets into the show without paying a cent at the door. We think you like that we don't charge a cover. If that's true, then you need to do something for us in order to keep the show free. In fact, we need you to do some things to keep the show going at all.

Because we don't have money coming in, we don't have any money to go out in the form of advertising. The attendence at the shows have been down for the past couple of shows; not unexpected with such nice weather. BUT, if we don't get more butts in the seats at POP!Cafe, they're not going to want us around much longer.

Here's what you can do to support the shows at POP!Cafe and keep the doors open for everyone.

1. Download the flyer for the next show. Print out as many copies as you can (at least one) and put them up in the places you go.
   Start with where you work. Make your co-workers more tolerable to deal with by enticing them to participate in an event that will make them more interesting as people. :) Click here to go to the special page we've put up with links to the posters, and instructions on how to print them.
2. Talk to people you know about the show.
   And the best way to get people to come is not to ask them to come. Instead, just talk about what a great time you had at the last show you went to. Tell them what was so great about it. They'll start to ask questions and before long they'll be asking where and when the next show is, and they will sell themselves on the idea of going. Just before the next show, remind them. Ask them if they're going.
3. Buy our merchandise.
   We will have stuff to buy available at tables in the back. There will soon be CD's, Videos and Books. The money you spend on those items goes towards the shows.
4. Buy drinks (and food when they get it) at the show.
   POP!Cafe' isn't letting us have the run of the place every Sunday night just because they are being cheritable. They need to make money or it's not worth the money they spend to keep the place open. Don't bring drinks or food into POP!Cafe' when you come. That don't look good, and it hurts our ability to stay there.
5. Get there as early as you can.
   As a rule, when people come in and see that there aren't many people there, they think that it won't be much fun. They might stay for a while, they might leave right away. Either way, they aren't coming back. A full house tells people that this is fun and worth their time.
6. Be friendly to new people.
   If you see a face you don't recognize, walk up and welcome them to the show. People don't like feeling uncomfortable in a new situation, and they always feel uncomfortable when so many people seem to know eachother. Just walking up and chatting with the new folk for a couple of minutes is the best endorsement you can make.
