We need to start putting together flyers and getting the word out there.
Also, we need to decide on a cover. What makes the trip worthwhile for the bands involved? The venue would like a cut of $50 of the door money. Not sure how many people to expect, but the Borg Ward and the Milwaukee bands come with their own crowds of some size. Thoughts?

In my opinion, I don't think the local (i.e. Milwaukee area bands) should be taking a cut of the door. I think the door money should just be reserved for out-of-town/touring bands that have to drive some distance. Bands can sell merch to make up whatever money they may miss out on from the door, as in my experience Milwaukee is full of people who will buy merch if your band doesn't suck and it's not at a ridiculous price point (I'm sorry, but any more than $10 for your average t-shirt is HIGHWAY ROBBERY).
...
To be honest, I wouldn't charge more than $8 for this. $5 is too little. $10 is kinda steep for bands that don't have guarantees or use booking agents and stuff (and the Borg rarely deals with those types anyway), especially if we're talking about a fair chunk of local/local-ish bands.
Hope this helps! I think this show is going to rule!

2 things:
1. We're about 400 miles away, but we're playing a few shows up (and hopefully down). Again, any help with this would be great. Right now, we're playing Eau Claire Thursday and Madison Friday, but even those aren't confirmed. We really want to play Chicago because we have friends there. A place to crash in Milwaukee will also be needed by us and others.
2. $8 sounds fine. Could we consider 2 price points? Maybe less if you come early, or maybe a Special Edition ticket that gets you a merch sampler and/or in a drawing for a pedal? Or maybe everyone pays 8, but you get a CD featuring every band? I dunno... thoughts?
