You should plan on being on time.  Shows should begin promptly at 7:30 pm.  We will have the performance area set up for you.  You may show up at 6:30 pm to begin set-up.  We have musicians on staff who can assist you with technical questions and/or problems. You should plan on performing for AT LEAST one hour.  Come prepared with lots of great songs.  Folks are here for a reason - they'd like a concert.  Chat with them between songs, too - they seem to like that! Be Professional.  We realize that you are playing our store for free, but please be respectful of the sound restrictions we have to maintain in the store (as we are located in a mall).   Please be respectful to our customers and to our employees.  Also, we would be happy to provide you with free coffee or water during your performance, but we are unable to provide any other free foods or drinks from the cafe. Sell Yourself!  We do what we can to promote your show.  We  provide free in-house publicity with flyers and posters and we sent notices to the local newspapers.  The rest is up to you!  Tell your friends!  Send event invites here on MySpace.  PLEASE let people know you're playing.  It's a great place for people to gather and just have fun, as well as support you by coming to your show.  Sell Your CDs!  We WANT you to make some money!  Offer band merchandise or CDs - you get the money directly.    Even if you only have a homemade demo, if people like what they hear, they'll buy it from you! Be Original.  We want to hear YOUR tunes.  That's why we invited you to play in the first place!    If you plan on doing covers, that's fine, too.  But let people know what you're REALLY about!
