The 'OhMyRockness' emails are pretty comprehensive if you live in a city they service (though 95%. of the listings are dumb bullshit that I'm not interested in).
Would be neat if someone could build an aggregator that constantly scoured your instagram account for new posts from ONLY the accounts you have specifically chosen, and maybe send screenshots to an external thing so you don't even have to have the actual instagram app installed on your phone.

I like the people behind local to me places like Cactus Club and X ray, who are good about maintaining their own sites and calendars (and flyers around town). But god I'm just not into the majority of what I see coming thru (lotta cutesy stuff at the former, suburban hardcore and metal at the latter).

After trying other methods of self-promotion I think my next campaign will be to fake my own public death and then when everyone comes out of the woodwork with "I knew him" "We were so close" "I would have done anything for him" etc they will think they're going to my wake but it's really just my next gig. I think I can pull this off about once every few months for a while, which is the max amount of gigging I really feel like doing anyway

Hah yeah that'll be most of the replies to the Facebook Event page. That and "sorry can't make it, I'll try to catch your next funeral! Break a leg"
