Get Your Photog On

Great Scott and O'Brien's Pub are offering a chance for you to pay for that $800 camera you bought with free music. They've splashed Flickr and Myspace with an offer for coveted "you + 1" guest list spots. The deal is pretty simple. Take a look at their upcoming shows. Write down a list of the shows you want to see, and can make it to the whole set. Send them an email with some sample photos (a link to your Flickr set will do) and the list of shows you want to capture. If they've still got spots to give away for those shows you're in. Your amateur photography could actually amount to something. Caveat here – they've promised full credit to the photographer, which you'd retain under creative commons, but if they're posting the photos on their Flickr set make sure you drop a copyright on the image itself or the scenario might not fully qualify as your work.

Fancy yourself more of a DJ and less of a photographer? They've got a deal for you too. They're looking for low cost DJ's to keep the party rolling late into the night Thursday through Saturday. That's where you come in. They'll let you in gratis to the night's show, with a guest, and have you play your set from shows end into the morning. They're looking to play nice with local DJ types. To that end they'll work with you on making sure you're happy if they're happy. The basic outline of what you can do for them, and what they will do for you can be grabbed at this oh-so-beautiful html page.
