Q: |
after the concert has finished can the t-shirts be sent
back washed to the winning bidder with design intact?
| |

|
|
A: |
Hmmmm, since we were just kind of going to
print the ad on paper and tape it to our backs, there won't
really be t-shirts per se with the ad on 'em. But... I would
not be against packing the shirts up with paper ad taped to
the back. As far as washing the shirts, hey, we are roadies,
come on, we can barely keep our own clothes
washed! | |

Q: |
In the event that self-promotion is of the preferred
essence, you gents could promote your own blog since I
MOBILIZED it. Simply text RATBLOG (well, you'll have to text
@RATBLOG until my engineers get off their can and approve the
word) to 4-4-6-3-6 to get the latest post in text and sign up
for a text alert each time there is a new one. In fact,
contact me and I'll kick in $$$ for each time you
self-promote... since we both gain. Create your own mobile
service at open.4info.net. | |

Q: |
Dave, You are a true genius. To think we could have been
doing this since the 80's. We could be retired by now. Will
this revenue be part of settlement now? Seems like mgmnt will
want their cut and of course the merch %, Facility surcharge,
union fees and penalties not to mention state and local taxes.
This may end up costing you money. Stick with the old carpet
and be happy! Bryan | |

Hello Bryan, You bring up two excellent
points. Had this advertising concept been implemented at an
earlier decade, much income could have been generated. Imagine
an ad on the back of a roadie on Black Flag tour, perhaps for
Doc Martens shoes, the local pawn shop or discounts on safety
pins. Oh, and on 80's metal tours, hair spray companies would
have been crawling all over themselves and catchy slogans
like: This band hair rocks with Aquanet! Upon roadie backs
would be everywhere. As far as the various music industry
standard expenses(oh, you forgot the record company), this is
a concern. But I guess it is all just a tough part of the
music business we are used to. But then, before hope is lost,
imagine a lush and bountiful Front of House shangri-la. Our
caged and barricaded world decorated with palm fronds and tiki
lamps, an island of beauty a midst the sea of fluid fans. This
is our dream, to build a roadie haven for us roadies separated
from the remainder of the roadie herd during the rock show.

Q: |
GOOFYAUCTIONS would like to congratulate you on being
featured on our website!!! We are also watching your item!!!
Keep up the goofy work!!! | |
Oct-24-06 |
|
|
A: |
Thank you, thank you! I can sincerely say
that we both very much appreciate the congratulations! And the
honor of being featured as well. Though I am a bit puzzled by
the whole -goofy- part of it. I thought we were just a small
part of a worldwide trend of marketing roadies as advertising
space. | |

|
Q: |
So can I put anything on the shirts..? left one -Brokeback
Mountian- and the other one -I wish I knew how to quit you-
| |
Oct-24-06 |
|
|
A: |
Although I fully can see how both of those
ad's would form and excellent and creative foundation for your
ad campaign, I am remiss to inform you that for this
particular auction, both ad's must be the same.
| |
|
|
|
|
|
Q: |
Will my ad go worldwide or just US? Will you provide
printing and t-shirt? How will my roadie be
shipped? | |
Oct-24-06 |
|
|
A: |
Will my ad go worldwide or just US? You can
select any show worldwide that you wish to have your ad
displayed. Though hopefully you don't wait for a show too far
in the future as the anticipation of seeing it could be too
much to bear. Will you provide printing and t-shirt? No, if
you want us to wear a T-Shirt with your ad, you need to print
them and send. As described above, if you send us a graphic of
your ad, we will print it in color on paper and tape it to the
back of our shirts. How will my roadie be shipped? Whoa,
actually selling roadies is a bit beyond the scope of this
auction, maybe try Craig's List if you want to purchase a
roadie. | |

Thank you Mike! And Uh Oh! Something tells
me your mischievousness may be trouble! | |

Q: |
Hi. If I win, can you provide me with a photo of the
rhoadies wearing my ad. Assuming I can, can we then use the
photo on our website to further promote our organization? (FYI
- our organization promotes all ages music clubs in a small
town.) Thanks. | |
Oct-22-06 |
|
|
A: |
Absolutley, in fact we mention that in the
details of the auction above. And absolutely again, please do
use the photo we send you to further your world. Looking at
what your orginization does, we would be honored to be a part
of supporting it! | |

Q: |
Dave, why don't you auction the rug as a Red hot concert
relic. It should go for a few bucks to some peppers fan. Great
Blog. Joe Murphy | |

|
A: |
Hmmm, shipping it would be a bummer. Plus,
roadies selling rock memorabilia is kind of frowned upon. A
bit cheesey to be hawking bits from the tour you work. Our
plan is so absurd that we figure people will be too busy
laughing at us to be bothered by it. Oh, and we wanted to
actually earn the $ for the redecoration while we are actually
inside of the mix area. Like our own little micro world. Who
would have known that you could make $ without leaving the
safety of the FOH area? | |

Q: |
Hi! Before I bid, I had a few questions. 1, Can the ad be
in color or is it limited to black and white? an 2, I have
been to a few concerts and have noticed that the stage is
usually very well lit most of the time but the 'island'in the
arena where my ad will be displayed is rarely lit at all
during the performers performance. Will there be special
lighting just for my add?(I suppose this question is directed
to Scott the Lampi) Thanks. soya | |
Oct-21-06 |
|
|
A: |
Hmmm, very good questions Mr. Soya. Yes, we
are happy to say that color is all good! As far as lighting,
we are roadies of integrity and quality and we are sure to
devise some sort of proper illumating
entity. | |
