The Sentinel, our school paper of which I am the Chief Designer, is completely broke. In fact, we're $1000 in the hole. Plus, we're hitting a rough patch in finding advertisements.
This is a bit of a problem.
Tomorrow we're doing an advertising blitz, and we'll probably do something similar next Saturday as well. It's a ridiculous process trying to get ads.
A lot of the time you get shut down, a lot of the time you try and try with no luck. It gets disheartening, for sure. But we can't put out our first issue if we don't have the funds to produce it, because we obviously can't stack up any more debt. It just astounds me how local businesses don't jump on the idea of getting ads right where students are looking!
Hopefully it all works out. I'll send an e-mail to the local library to see if they're interested right after I finish this blog.
Also, college stuff is really getting to me. I'm freaking out a bit. But I don't feel like writing about it in hopes that I can get my mind off of it for just a second.
On that note, They Might Be Giants are going to play at a TBD venue in Denver! I've never seen any of my most favorite bands live...this is my chance! I've missed a Primus show in Denver, but this I will not miss. A "Rock Show" even (As apposed to their children's shows)! Hopefully they'll somehow conform to the dream setlist I have in my head.
With ink, music, and love,

ReplyDeleteHang in there bud, I'm sure everything is beginning to pile up on you, but you can't let that stop ya. If at all possible I'll talk with some friends and talk to them about giving some adds to you guys. They have some odd jobs around town, and I'm sure their bosses would be willing to give it a go.
i hope you get to see your favorite band!
ReplyDeleteAs for your school newspaper.. i hope everything turns out alright.
