2009/2010 POC CHECKLIST & GUIDELINES
THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE FUN, OTHERWISE YOU’RE NOT DOING IT RIGHT!
NEW POC DUTY: POCs are to collect the email sign ups after each show,
bring them home and email Chris (cjcafiero@comcast.net) a list with ALL of
the email addresses in the body of the message. DO NOT MAIL THE LIST!
Below is an example of how Chris would prefer to get the email addresses.
This way, all he has to do is cut from the body of the email and paste into
the "TO:" of the introduction email that he will be sending. Make sure the
addresses are separated by a comma and a space.
harpo@comcast.net, chico@hotmail.com, groucho@cableone.net, moe@zeromtn.com,
larry@cox.net, curly@yahoo.com, shemp@yahoo.com
Chris will then send the INTRO email to them in
mass. This will save him many hours of time. Please email them to Chris as
quickly as possible after the show.
PRIOR TO THE SHOW
___1.
PLEASE SIGN UP AT POCCENTRAL.COM BY COMPLETING THE INFORMATION REQUESTED.
If
already listed, check and make sure your info is correct on the POC site.
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. 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 Scott, your RC
and the fans. Make sure that the concert is listed correctly on the venue‟s
website. If not, contact the POC Coordinator.
___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 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
– that information is only to help you assist the tour
manager.
___5. If you have a list of Feat Fans 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. Post these
arrangements to the Digest and Bulletin Board. Run off some email signup
sheets or entry forms to add to the road boxes of merchandise and grassroots
supplies.
The printable file for email signup sheets should be attached to this email.
SHOW RECORDING & PHOTO POLICIES:
See Little Feat‟s official Taping Policy. The band
encourages audience taping, as long as the venue allows it. 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 by 11:00 AM
(His telephone number will be emailed to you with the itinerary for this
show date). 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 (business cards, 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. Scott
with give you the lowdown on that.
Make sure you get cash from Scott to get started and
make sure you have lots of small bills ($5).
___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 seller encourage customers who inquire about using credit
cards to visit the ATM for cash.
___10.
Encourage Feat Fans 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 Feat Fans help in some
way. Lead by example. Completed email signup sheets should be emailed to
Chris Cafiero with the email addresses listed in the body of the email.
Exact instructions are at the top of the page.
Remind people that they can sign up at Little
Feat’s website online, too.
___11. 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!
___12. Hand out fliers and other materials as
people leave after the show. Check with the tour manager about post show
help. Report to the Hoy Hoy Digest, Message Boards, your RC and the POC
Coordinator about the show.
___13. If you are not able to restock the
grassroots supplies yourself, let the RC and the next show‟s POC know ASAP.
If we are getting low
on CDs, DVDs or any other inventory for sale, please let the RC or Scott
know ASAP. Make sure there are enough Grassroots Business Cards in stock for
the next few shows, if not let the RC or POC coordinator know ASAP.
___14. Chris will use the completed email signup sheets to send "Thank
You For Attending the Show" follow up emails to all who signed up.
Lastly, and most importantly, remember to have FUN!!!!
