OK, Marcus beat me to it.

However, I am going to do a variation on his theme for Seattle. It will feature SongFight! more prominantly, and I can create a template for the rest of the show as well. I am going to bring back some elements of Marcus' previous versions, as I liked them.

Watch this space.

From a concept by Marcus Kellis, as generalized and executed by Spud.
This is preliminary pending your review of your band names and other information. Please post any corrections here so that I can update.

poster updated to reflect "Glenn and Rachael" rather than Half Racks.

Any other changes?

I think Glenn & Rachael should instead be referred to as 1U.

Here's a version with 1/4" bleeds in case you are taking this to a real printer instead of printing it on the office printer...

Awesome work Spud! Speaking of corrections, you can probably consolidate Tiny Robots - Merisan - Loyalty Day into just Merisan. And we're going to try to figure out some details tomorrow and hopefully say we're in for the Seattle stop.

Aw man, I really like it with more bands. Aren't there slightly different configurations that justify the 3 names?

That would be sweet.

Oh, and in case you missed it, props to Marcus. Obviously, I have blatantly ripped him off.

Obviously, I was trying to create a subliminal message. The gun is pointing directly at Octothorpe, drawing attention to us, and indicating that we are the ones to watch. :roll:

Damn our longer name, getting in the way like that... hey, p++ could be like Secret Service agents or something (since it looks like we're taking a bullet for El Presidente anyway, heh).
