    Default Forgot an opener on poster, any advice?

    Hello everyone,

    So I have a dilema... I'm doing a silkscreen poster for a show coming up at the end of this month, I've already started printing, and I noticed online that there is now also a local band that is opening. So basically, I have the main band, plus the touring opener on the poster, but I don't have this local (but I think fairly known in the area) band on it.

    Do you think it matters really? Should I stop printing, or continue printing and burn another screen to add in the other band, despite it changing up the poster design? I'm thinking that I should just keep going without it, because even though it is missing, at least I have the opener on the poster that is with the main act on every date of the tour.

    Thanks for the advice in advance!

    I'd check to see if you can get them kicked off the show.

    I'd check with whoever hired you to do the poster.

    my suggestion would be that whatever colors you have not printed yet, work the name into that layer and re burn the screen. you have to work a little more but perhaps that local band will help you sell that many more posters.

    Did the person that hired you ever you give you the local band's name? If not, don't sweat it and keep going.

    The poster is for a Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks show, and I'm doing the poster through the band and their manager, which I'm not sure if that makes it more discretionary?

    Dude. It doesn't matter one fucking iota. Print it.

    People are buying this for the headliner.

    Goddam don't waste your time. There are battles to fight and this is not one of them and you shouldn't even have to ask.
