hitting the pavement
on our grassroots shit
It's time to clock in.
Welcome back to The Tuesday Shift!
You know we had to show face at Ossfest, and we were WORKINNNN! Hitting the pavement, if you will, real grassroots shit. Going up to random groups of people and selling them on our festival was equal parts terrifying and liberating.
Who said you had to rely solely on Meta ads to sell out an event?
And we hung up quite a few posters around the city, so be sure to tag us if you see them out in the wild ;)
Andddd to close out the night we got to see our favs, Active Mirror, take the stage! Always such a pleasure getting to see them rock and roll.
AND THAT’S A WRAP! And remember to get your tix for SYNT fest ◡̈
GET YOUR TIX NOW!!!!
Anyway…consider supporting your fav indie media outlet (us, duh!) by becoming a paid subscriber to The Tuesday Shift >.<
