Isn't it a 45-60 minute drive to Leominster from Boston?

I think you just answered your own question :P

we can't drive for 2hrs round trip to flyer for something on less than a week's notice, with no compensation (no gas money for the show), but what we can do is try and get a crowd that is more homebase to us to go and work on this area because promoters and other bands probably are having trouble getting into boston to do what is easy for us to do. That's why it's vital that clubs and promoters do their fair share of the legwork, for situations as stated.

truth be told, at least 3 of the bands on the bill (though slightly off-tilt because IWEIPH dropped off and I have been pushing them, too) have a boston interest, and i can make use of that to get people from the area to schlep out to see them.

the trick is that if every band on that bill flyered their home area, this would be canvasing the eastern half of the state and part of NH. Even 100 flyers per band (or less...we did 2 up flyers, so we got 2 for every copy we made) is cheap and will get at least 20 people.

Plus elicitng a Leominster scene might, comparably, take more work than just getting bar-hopping Greater Boston people, with cars, to go.

Is Liquid on the T? That will help the club a good deal.
