Post No Smallish Bills
They no longer allow flyers on the front counter at Aurora. They still allow the slick, full-sized posters on the wall, but the smaller ΒΌ page notices that scattered the edge by the doorway are gone. Uncentered, hand-inked missives scrawled on the back of discarded lyric sheets with spiral fringe, this was propaganda at its most entry-level. Now how will I know when Awkward Age, Hair Down There and The Statutories are playing the Drunken Unicorn? Or how to Drive Out the Bush Regime?
While only bands and promoters with the time and talent to hire a decent graphic designer could master the eye-catching posters on the wall, any dolt could slap a handbill together in Word, copy it for 3 more pages, print all 4 reduced to one page and tear the sheet in 4ths. Then you just squeeze the short stack between the ones for Belly Dance Lessons and the weekly Yard Sale on Elmira. Then you sit back and enjoy the delusion that someone might notice it and come.

but...seriously? you and leonard doing a show together? F-ing yeah.
He's tentatively said yes. Just need to find a venue, date and time and hold him to it. Then find some interesting pieces to do so I don't look like a hack in comparison.
What about Push Push or Relapse Theatre on 14th?
There's Sketchworks, but i think they probably charge a good bit, where those others would probably be either free or really cheap.
