[QUOTE="HeavensJail:1302707"]It's that time of year again, with a twist; this is likely to be the last time I go and do this, so whether you've previously taken advantage of these [URL='http://www.returntothepit.com/view.php?formid=75686']in the past[/URL] or not, this is likely the last chance. The concept is simple; you give me stuff you give away for free here, I go overseas, I give your stuff away at [URL='http://www.party-san.de/']Party.San[/URL] and (new this year!) [URL='http://www.summer-breeze.de/']Summer Breeze[/URL] to people who wouldn't come into contact with it otherwise. I'm going to have about as much pack space as last year, when I took over about 80 CDs and the better part of a hundred stickers, promo cards, and other small pieces, passing out just about goddamn everything, even the buttons. The following are the basic rules: - Don't send anything that breaks. This is traveling by air in a frame pack, so I can't guarantee integrity for anything frangible that isn't in a case. You'll be out a stack of 7"s that people here would actually listen to, and I'll be on the ground in Berlin with a pack full of broken vinyl. CDs work better if you want to send music. - Unless you have nothing else, no buttons. They're hard to move and don't have your contact information on them. I'm sick of taking buttons over, not being able to pass them out, and feeling bad about coming home with half of them left. - The literal dregs of your merch bucket are OK. As long as it's got contact info on it, or room for me to write such on the back while I'm sitting around in Logan, it's useful, and your new audience in Europe doesn't know or care that it's last year's/last tour's junk, or that you've retired that logo. - Any CDs in full-height cases will get repacked into half-height cases for space reasons. This has never been an issue yet, as all of the bands I've lugged stuff for have sent only burns/demos in sleeves or half-height cases, but just in case. If there's a tray inlay with the CD for some reason, it'll be packed along. This rule is new this year, and potentially important: if I haven't seen/heard your band, check the [URL='http://www.party-san.de/bands-2012/']Party.San lineup[/URL] and see how you fit into that before going HAY CAN U TAKE STUFFS? Nearly every band that is likely to see this should pass this filter no problems, but I have to put it in, since I'm going to Party.San first, and on last year's experience will probably end up with everything cleared out before I leave. The more mainstream stuff that I could push aggressively at Wacken in previous years will be harder to move, and I'm not 100% on how the culture at Summer Breeze is going to be in regards to distro. Party.San is pretty much the world's biggest basement show, so if you play DIY gigs in this area, I will be able to find people there who dig your stuff without a whole lot of effort. If you go to shows in eastern New England, you should be able to find the large bearded guy in the excessively overbuilt patchjacket (Hypocrisy with seven bands of shoulder studs and full sleeves, or alternately Revocation (sleeveless) depending on weather and other circumstances) before the last weekend in July. This is the tentative schedule of shows at which you'll be able to give me stuff: Jun 5 (Tue) - HORNA, KOMMANDANT, BOG OF THE INFIDEL, NACHZEHRER, SARCOMANCY - Great Scott's (Allston, MA) Jun 7 (Thu) - METAL THURSDAY CLXVI: ABNORMALITY, NAEGLERIA, SOUL REMNANTS, SOUL ANNIHILATION - Ralph's Diner (Worcester, MA) Jun 10 (Sun) - SIX FEET UNDER / "Worcester Deathfest" - the Palladium (Worcester, MA) Jun 11 (Mon) - Spitting Black, Composted, Deathamphetamine, Dick Move - Midway Cafe (Jamaica Plain, MA) Jun 14 (Thu) - Born of Fire: Scaphism, Blood Of The Gods, I Am The Trireme (PA) - O'Briens Pub (Allston, MA) Jun 21 (Thu) - Metal Thursday CLXVII: Machinage [BRAZIL], Sonic Pulse, Endless Decay, Red Blade - Ralph's Diner (Worcester, MA) Jun 26 (Tue) - IRON MAIDEN, Alice Cooper - Tweeter Center (Mansfield, MA) Jun 30 (Sat) - BLACK PYRAMID, KYOTY, HESSIAN AND WARM - Ralph's Diner (Worcester, MA) Jul 25 (Wed) - FEAR FACTORY, VOIVOD, Cattle Decapitation, Misery Index, Revocation, Havok - the Palladium (Worcester, MA) Jul 26 (Thu) - Metal Thursday: Mausoleum [PA], Engorge [NJ], Blessed Offal +TBA - Ralph's Diner (Worcester, MA) Other opportunities will likely come in as more shows are announced, and an updated version of this list will get posted here in July as I get closer to flying out.
