Admittedly, it very old school; passing on a grainy black and white photocopied note with directions, schedule and info for the concert. More than a few of us had these &#8220;notes&#8221; that we handed off to folks.<br><br>\n\nThe hand-delivered, black and white photocopied, grainy as fuck old school flyers were an absolute hit though. One person commented to me during the event, &#8220;Getting a paper flyer directly from you immediately let me know that I was invited to something amazing.&#8221; It pulled her back to high school when notes were passed in class.<br><br>\n\nFB event page said 30 people were coming to the house concert.
