POC CHECKLIST & GUIDELINES
THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE FUN,
OTHERWISE YOU'RE NOT DOING IT RIGHT! BE FLEXIBLE!
Your Show Date & Location:

PRIOR TO THE SHOW
__
1. Review the
FAQ-POC Do’s and Don’ts page at poccentral.com and the Current Campaign
Notices via the available links or at
www.littlefeat.net. THE FAQ HAS MORE DETAILS THAN THIS CHECKLIST THAT
YOU NEED TO CONSIDER. Sign up at
POC Central.com by completing the information requested. Send the POC
Coordinator your phone number(s) and other contact information so he can get
it to the tour manager.
__ 2. Supply the POC Coordinator and Feat’s webmaster with a link to the
venue's website for posting on the POC list and elsewhere. Visit the venue
if you can to familiarize yourself with the layout and look for places to
hang banners and place the merchandise table. Check other odd details about
the place and pass them on to Denny, your RC and the fans.
__3.
Determine if you are going to place Little Feat posters around town for
promotion. Contact the POC Coordinator or your RC about getting posters.
Find out if the venue would like some to put up.
__4. Post
to the
LittleFeat.net Bulletin Board, the Hoy
Hoy digest, POC Central Forum, and any other sites you choose, news about
the venue, nearby hotels, transportation and parking issues, meet'n greet
details, and all related info to make this an organized and enjoyable event
for all involved. Post show info on local internet bulletin boards and
similar places. DO NOT PUBLICIZE DETAILS OF BAND’S LODGINGS – those are only
to help you assist the tour manager.
__5. If you
have a list of FeatFans attending the Show, send it along with any other
details to your RC.
__6.
Arrange a time and place for everyone to meet before the Show. Run off some
email signup sheets or entry forms to add to the road boxes of merchandise
and grassroots supplies. The RCs can send you a printable file.
SHOW RECORDING &
PHOTO POLICIES:
See Little Feat's official
Taping Policy. The band encourages
audience taping, as long as the venue allows. The band encourages recording
and trading of their live shows, as long as it is not for profit. Tell your
taper friends! All taping is limited to audio only - no video or flash
photography is ever allowed.
SHOW DAY!
___7. Check
in with the tour manager. He will tell you the specific help he needs, and
usually goes over this with you ahead of time. Set up an area for email
signup collection, entry form completion, etc. Hang the Little Feat banner
in an appropriate location. The merchandise table is often a prime spot. The
tour manager will decide where. Grassroots supplies (clipboards, blank
forms, fliers, etc.) are kept in a box with various supplies. Remember –
merchandising is a VERY important part of the band’s tour success. Denny
will give you the lowdown on that.
___8. At
this time, CASH is the ONLY form of payment accepted for
Little Feat merchandise. Before the venue doors open, please find out the
location of the nearest ATM machine. Be sure to inform everyone who will be
selling merchandise of the ATM's proximity. Request that the sellers
encourage customers who inquire about using credit cards, to visit the ATM
for cash.
___9.
Encourage FeatFans to collect Email addresses or entry forms and hand out
fliers, when the doors open if possible. Email collection is important.
Remind your people you will collect Email signup sheets after the show. Be
sure all helpers know their duties and where to be. Have all FeatFans help
in some way. Lead by example. Filled in signup sheets go to the tour
manager. Remind people that they can sign up at Little Feat’s website
online, too.
___10. Get
(or designate someone to get) a copy of the show's set list, with
changes/teases noted if possible, for posting on the Hoy Hoy digest and for
the archives. It also makes a great souvenir!
___11. Hand
out fliers and other materials as people leave after the show - check with
the tour manager about post show help - give him filled out signup sheets.
Report to the Digest, your RC & the POC coordinator about the show.
___12. If
you are not able to restock the grassroots supplies yourself, let the RC and
next show’s POC know ASAP.
Lastly, most importantly,
remember to have FUN...!!!!
