I don't like the idea of flyers. The main reason is police. Anyone can act like they are someone else on the phone/internet, and if I give directions to an officer and he shows up at our apartment, we're fucked. We have been lucky with police thus far, our neighbors upstairs got a visit from the police 2 weekends ago (but they have total dick neighbors next to them). The city I live in (Rochester, NY) is cracking down on college/drinking parties hardcore. They have fines, jail time, and eviction notices that scare me. That's my beef with flyers, but that would be very good advice if I lived in a house. House parties around here are for the big parties, apartment are better for friends, or less than 20 people.
thats cool, the just do word of mouth but again don't make it seem like your trying to get them, but rather socializing and promoting your stuff.
Although with the flyers thats why I also said don't post directions so that THEY would contact you. obviously don't give directions to anyone you don't remember giving a flyer to (by this I mean you should have given it to ALL girls and when they call you they should at least tell you how they got your number or where they met you). Trust me where I live they were also cracking down, at one [point me and my friends from the crew were actually on the cops radar - they even had our party line numbers and kept leaving msgs to intimidate us AND the city newspaper ran an article about us making us sound like delinquents lol-. In the end though none of us ever got arrested or paid fines if cops came to the party they would just tell everyone to go home unless people were jumping fences or drinking outside, fight, etc. I used to rent house, bars, and apts to throw them at so even if someone got the most a 90 day notice, they pay that with the money we gave them to rent the place.
