Say the first Tuesday of every month at the Pik and Pak (or whatever current version of the pik n pak is around in houston these days). <br/><br/>If you do that, you just put up flyers once and then don't bother again with any promotion or booking. You just know first Monday comes around, you show up and play. Eventually word gets out and maybe a few people start showing up. the dive doesnt give you any grief cause what else are they going to have on an early monday night? And your chops get better every month and eventually people start showing up and word spreads, and you start doing it every week, eventually there are so many people there the bar has to expand, then a record deal, fame and fortune and then you disappear again leaving everyone in the lurch. <br/><br/>Just a thought....
