Include your resume/bio along with a list of your favorite bands and your favorite metal sources, as well as 2-3 sample text messages about the local Metal scene (1-2 sentences each).

Thanks for your help!

This is especially true for places where craigslist ads were just too expensive, and so were skipped (New York, L.A., SanFran)

oh man...what an opportunity for me to run my mouth...

but i think out of fear of other forum members here...i will refrain from attacking the Atlanta metal scene.

 

[Metaldrumz]

Im probably one of the most passionate people in the Boston area that follows metal. A glimpse of my CD collection, and my myspace page would attest to it.....unfortunately I dont follow local bands, and theres a handful of bands from this area Id even think of givin the time of day.

When you need an expert on the European Melodic Metal Scene, give me a shout.

Ah yes, we are soooo busy. jk
