I've been doing flyers and tour posters for years. For an example of my
work, here's a flyer i just did for a concert coming up. Looks really
nice at full color glossy from kinko's, if i make something that is this
eye catching for the list, and we put them up, i guarantee the list will
grow immediately.

(btw, the latest OpenOffice is rumoured to support "print to pdf")

Cool. Send me what you have. (i have 6 machine's at home, some run
windows, you can send the evil file type if you want as well)

I get um... lets just say, less than expensive prices at a particular
kinko's location, where i just happen to have grown up with a few
employees there. I'm planning on doing full color 11x17 posters to
give you guys to put up at universities, coffee shops, where ever. ;D
