Right on D. We are going to try to make more of it than others have and bring some of this Bay game down there. Its a great market but you have to go and do it big. thanks for the support. We arent leaving the Bay for good we are just temporarily transplanting to give the Bay some breathing room. Its too congested and we are killing the scene up here and I dont want to contribute to that.

Peace.
Groovy!

Do you plan on promoting in the Northwestern and Midwestern states? I seem to hear stories about those areas having pretty good audiences for Northern/Central Cali Rap. Luni Coleone, for example, told MURDER DOG about the huge following he found that he has in Missouri, and he also mentioned that others (Mac Dre, Marvaless, and a few others I can't remember) were shown the same love out there in a way that they weren't in their OWN STATE! Those might be nice markets to hit--It seems like some people who live in Cali kind of take their own music for granted, almost (don't hate me for that statement--just calling it like I see it).

I remember that a lot of the CDs Bayside distributed during your stay there could easily be found in a lot of stores in some of the states that I mentioned above, and I hope THE LABEL group can continue that trend. It's funny how people living outside Cali seem to appreciate Cali music more than those living in Cali themselves. Good luck and stay safe!

PEACE!

Indiana. The indie stores in my area were usually pretty cool about getting CDs that Bayside distributed in their stores, although concert action is lacking...

PEACE!
do they have any Hastings stores in Indiana?

I checked their website (under "LOCATIONS"), and it appears that the only Hastings in Indiana is located in Richmond, IN, which is in the east central section of the state (haven't been there so I wouldn't know how good or bad a store it is)...

4601 National Rd. East
Richmond, IN 47374

PEACE!

I've noticed that with the Hastings Chain store in my area. I don't know how it is with the rest of them though...I think most Hastings stores are located in Texas
