Do such things even exist, anymore? I'm not looking for one for Seattle, by the way; I'm looking for gothy mailing lists/forums for SF, L.A., Portland (OR), and NYC. Yes, this is all about promoting the Gothic Charm School book tour. ::grin::
So! Anyone have any leads or suggestions?

Gothic Charm School postcards!
I know I've asked this before, but we now have the postcards in hand and want to get specific details from those of you willing to distribute some Gothic Charm School postcards. We'll call you "GCS Ambassadors" for short...
Anyway, what we'd like to know is:
If you are able to be a GCS Ambassador, post a comment here with your answers to those questions, and I'll send you a PM with more info and to get your mailing address.

Anyway, what we'd like to know is:
- Where are you?
- Where are you planning on distributing the cards? Stores? Clubs? Events? Can you give us specific info?
- How many cards do you need? We have lots, so just tell us and we'll worry about whether we have enough.

Not sure how many I'd need- I guess that depends on how many people you've got out here helping.

I'm in New York city. I can give out, hang up and put the cards down any place in the city and will probably focus on the down town area and the village where there are many goth and alternative shops and clubs. I guess I could start with 50-100 cards. Unless that is way too much.

Bothell/King County
Can distribute in books stores in Bothell/Woodinville - and can go to Snohomish as well.
How many would you like me to distribute in this area? Remember, it's a bastion of R votes in the D world that is Western WA - but I'll be hitting the book stores, so I should find *some* folks interested ;>.

My guess is you already have Steamcon covered but I'll put cards on my table if you like.

and there's a few other Portland Goth groups, also.
Jack @ the H'ween Bazaar is a good person to contact.

I have this silly LJ as you see by its user info on every large goth, steampunk, alt group that is worth posting to on LJ.
I run about 5 diff myspaces that if you add up there people is well over 10 thousand that the book is going to be posted about dew to me running the my spaces and what I say goes.
Add to that all the facebook groups I am that totals to well over 15 millon people.
Also add to that the key people you know in the click who will pimp your book... this will be easy and word will be gotten out that the book is there.Add to that the press, Andrew at MTV is already talking to his boss about covering the picnic and so forth.
so with the above and every one else your going to be gold.

Ann Arbor, MI
**Where are you planning on distributing the cards? Stores? Clubs? Events? Can you give us specific info?**
Club - The Necto: Monday nights are "Factory Nights". Goth, Industrial, Synthpop. It's a very popular club in Ann Arbor. http://www.thenecto.com/
Stores - Vault of Midnight Comic Shop and any music shop that will allow me to drop off the postcards. Most of them will. Possibly Zingerman's Deli. http://www.vaultofmidnight.com/
Coffee shops - tons of them around here. I know at least one owner that would let me plaster his front door with postcards - it's called Bombadill's.
Events - Ann Arbor Art Fair - 500,000+ people visit this fair every year. I can put postcards in shops where people go for sweet, sweet A/C. http://www.artfair.org/
**How many cards do you need? We have lots, so just tell us and we'll worry about whether we have enough.**
At least 500. I can put 100 each in Bombadill's and Vault of Midnight, easy. At least 200 at The Necto. And probably another 100 between other shops. More than 500 if I can hit Art Fair.

Washington, DC suburbs-I work in the city though!

Local clubs, bars, bookstores. There are a lot of independent owners that I know here, and I know lots of college students (specifically, NOVA Community College, George Mason University, and VCU in Richmond)
How many cards do you need?
Oh, I don't know...30-50?
