Indie/Hippie Locations

[attackpenguin.livejournal.com]

I'm volunteering for a non-profit music festival by hanging up posters in Cambridge and maybe Boston as well. Its a 4-day (Thur-Sun) ordeal in update NY focused on folk, jam, reggae, world, etc. music with a definite hippie feel to it.

What I'm looking for is suggestions for locations in the area that would be good to hanging a poster for this kind of event. My first thoughts were coffee shops and music venues but bring on any other general or specific ideas.

Here is the link to the festival for those interested: http://www.grassrootsfest.org/trumansburg/

places with bulletin boards: Diesel Cafe, Starbucks, Blue Shirt Cafe, JP Licks, Boloco, Sherman Cafe, McIntyre & Moore, True Grounds (Ball Square), Sherman Cafe (Union Square), Somerville Public Library (West Branch and main library), SCAT (Union Square)

Comicazi might put your poster in their front window if they happen to like the event.

Mr Crepe has no place to hang a poster, but does have a place to leave a small number of leaflets next to the door.

also CD Spins might let you put it in their window

Obviously you'll want to take some to Club Passim in Harvard Square.

what's the event?

Harvard Square has about a million places to hang posters, including all over Harvard Yard and in The Garage.

Keep in mind that the Harvard Yard kiosks are cleared every Monday and Thursday afternoon.

And it looks like they're selectively tearing down posters that aren't Harvard-related, even on other days of the week.

I LOVE the Grassroots Festival!! You're making me homesick for Upstate!

Definitely poster the Harvest Co-op in Central Square.
