	Well, I got first introduced to gig posters by seeing the big ass 6 color silkscreen jobs that Kozik did... I never got into his or other peoples' B&W flyer stuff... dont ask me why.. it just didnt seem to exciting to me and I never collected it... nowadays however.. I have this weird attraction to these early 80's fliers... its like they're a key-part of the whole puzzle and so basically I am fallin gin love with these things from an historical perspective. seriously never thought I would give fliers like these more then 2 minutes of my time...

	http://weeklywire.com/ww/09-15-97/austin_music_feature1.html http://weeklywire.com/ww/09-15-97/austin_music_feature2.html dude, i wish the current SF weeklies would dedictae some time and energy to thelocal poster scene.. same for weeklies in other cities like Seattle, Chicago, etc.

	I guess this would be a good place to start digging around : http://www.lib.utexas.edu/taro/utcah/00146/cah-00146.html#a0 gots a whole nunch of names that dont ring any bell (isnt this compton who is compiling this collection for the library?)

	seripop - funny that you mentioned the 'lost dog notices'... recently saw a book in the SF Moma bookshop(cant recall the author) who collected lost dog/pet notices.. I think the book was in cojuntion with a full on exhibition but not sure you see... those shitty seripop flyers that look like lost dog notices are now considered fine art :)

	art - i try to find the time to read up and maybe one day I'll spend some time and energy on collecting these flyers and/or interviewing & mapping the Austin folks... seripop - at the end of the day a computer is just a tool.. it is still up to the artist to do something with it. Maybe one of the reasons that flyers suck right now is not because of computers perse but more that the 'good' artists are not doing flyers but are into the S/N silkscreen editions with 6 color screen print jobs etcetera. Maybe it has to do that it has become relatively 'easy' to to do the big silkscreen stuff and hence why bother doing a B&W flyer if you are a 'good' artist...

	Sweet So this flyer might have been done in what, late 1980's right? At that time I expect that you can find a similar 'style' in Austin from Kozik, Jason, etcetera... Just for my own curiosity I'd like to see how that moment in time in Austin compared to say... Seattle, NYC, SF and Detroit... Like taking snapshot in time and see what the different cities or scenes were doing right there and then Who were doing posters around the same time that Kozik/Jason/Hardy were doing this kind of stuff in Austin? (yeah, I know I should read the books but its more fun like this) Just want to see how the different scenes 'compare'.. I know Art mentioned that he realized that there was no universal source but that it just appeared instantaniously, the Big Bang theory. I guess a lot of folks were subjected to the same types of influece in some manner though.. example RAW and Slash etcetera that were distributed nation wide and maybe even 7" covers that were passed around in the 'scene' And in a way I guess that all this would have been 'difficult' to do without having a Kinko's down the street. One more thing.. everytime I walk around Haight street in SF where you'll see a lot of flyers I am amazed how crappy they are compared to the stuff from Hardy, Kozik etc.... I sometimes pull a few down and think about saving them but they are usually so crappy that I just dump them a minute later... Is that a general trend (that flyers suck) or am I at the wrong place/time?
