[Plain Old Jane]

how bout hosting bit torrent files or trackers for indie bands, or indie movies, or any other cool media we could find. (obviously, the less legal the swag we host, the bigger the crowd we draw. We could even start with the bad stuff and drop it when we have the target audeience, just switch to indie stuff entirely.)

Just the indie stuff would entail us going out and looking for indie bands at first, which shouldnt be so hard, theres a WHOLE BUNCH in my area, we could each just go to shows and try to get the bands to give us a sample cd and sign some kind of waiver saying we can share their shit til they get signed or whatever.

Indy movies... mmm... not so many around here, but malta is in NY and they have indy movie houses. my brother runs an indy movie company in NJ, we could have him share his online with us. or any of his indy movie friends.

honestly, this idea, the one i had while writing this post, about the indy thing, you realize, I havent seen online ever. So its pretty unique, we'd draw a crowd I'm pretty sure. Whats your thoughts, we may not have to do the illegal thing first to grab the crowd.

Of course combined with the reviews section, we could directly link to those torrents and stream line the whole thing.

Another bit, I noticed a lot of torrent sites have a donate button. If our audience swelled enough, we wouldnt have to worry about the money it takes to get into shows. Say we each went to 5 shows a month. thats like 60 bucks, not including gas, we could give each staff member a stipend or whatever to offset the costs and to buy insane amounts of weed with. just kidding, dont do drugs kids!
