So..I was trying to think of ways to promote FW, and the only things that I've done are: 1. Flyer all around downtown St. Louis 2. Insist that Hot Topic carry their goods. 3. Request them everyday on a local radio station. 4. Barge in on other bands with brand new amps message boards to promote 5. Let random people on the street listen through my headphones, then tell them to buy the CD (hey it worked) 6. go to all the indie record stores around annd make them order it for me (then dont pick it up and dont pay, i already got the CD a couple weeks ago) So, does anyone have any other suggestions for me??Thank You!!

Well I made a weiners fansite ( www.flatface.net/~jakob/fw_fan/site.html) but it's been dormant for a while now since I'm pretty busy these days. If anyone thinks it'd be cool I could continue updating it every once in a while...(I have some left over, non-uploaded content that I never got around to adding)

I think it would be not only cool....but super cool if you continued updating your site, Jakob.
And those are some good promo tools. I would say get an AIM icon and maybe put up a feable weiner banner or their website address in your signature if you post regularly on other boards so new comers that maybe didn't see your post or if it got pushed to another page will get the message.
But, I must say you have some good ones there. Forcing FW on people is sometimes what you have to do to make them listen. It works if you are nice about it. ;D

So yeah I'm Cherryhead's friend Mandy. I've been requesting FW every day for the past few on this really cool college radio station, and on cosmic tuesday the guy put me on the air talking about how Dear Hot Chick was out now and how awesome it was. Its the station where we both heard FW for the first time forever ago. The Djs on that station are really cool, they always play whatever you ask them if they have it.

Oh, and Jakob, I've looked at your site a couple times and i think it would be cool if you updated it. I'd love to see some new stuff on there!-Shannon

I've done all kinds of stuff for these guys including calling up radio stations and trying to get them interviewed on the air, flyers, making sure their shows are listed in the local newspaper on the music calendar..buying SEVERAL CD's and taking friends to shows...etc....
Can I just say I LOVE the tour journal! Jeff you have out done yourself!

I too love the tour journal...I'm on it! Oct.7th St. Louis. Anyways, Mandy is writing a letter to Alternative Press magazine about them, and we request them everyday on the radio. People are getting sick of us in chat rooms. Mandy asked in a Nashville if anyone had heard of FW and they thought she was using a pick up line! I finally got through to the people at Hot Topic though!!!! Score one for Shannon! ;D

Just to keep with the thread...I once made one of my professors play an FW cd in class to promote an upcoming show.
