Between Doc and I, we have e-mailed a copy of the press release to over 700 bands off the "Band Link" at www.tampabayentertainment.com
Also all the entertainment resources from that site. We have contacted the Suncoast Blues Society, Southeast Music Alliance, and NSAI and have been assured by those coordinators that the info was being passed along. Yesterday I went and hung notices at 5 local music stores and this weekend I'll do some more. The week of the event I will personally be calling over 80 folks on our chapter list to remind them.
When I e-mailed the press release to the local radio, TV stations and publications I also asked them to consider coverage of the event. Getting folks to respond on the board lately is difficult. I guess were all busy. Id like to see some more confirmation, it would help to justify our efforts but Im keeping the faith. If we hold it, will they come? Yeah!
