BANDGEEK!: Looks Like It’s ‘Who Gives A Shit About Making A Flier!?’ Weekend In Fresno

May 18, 2012May 18, 2012 The Fresnan

We like fliers. They give info so we don't have to search it out and type it into a blog post. Plus they're sometimes pretty to look at and they give some weight to a show. Just a little pro tip to all you venue owners and promoters. Yeah, I know you're thinking "But I already know this, you asshole blogger!" Do you?…Do you?

Props to those with fliers this week. This is…BANDGEEEEEK!:
