> how do we get some copies?
Step 1: Print out a copy of
http://lugod.org/projects/oscon/bay_area_lugs/LugFlyer-Color4.pdf .
Step 2: Take it down to Kinko's.
Step 3: Profit!
More seriously: 1. Print _non-white_ sheets. Anything but white,
but bright colours are best (red, pink, bright yellow, orange...)
2. For future flyers (not this one), design it from the get-go to be
_any_ format other than a plain 8.5"x11" sheet. Personally, I think
tri-fold is good.
Why? Because 8 1/2 x 11 on white paper is the path of least resistance,
with the result that almost everybody does it. Look at the freebie
table at any convention, and you'll observe a sea of 8 1/2 x 11 white
sheets, lost among others of their kind.
Anything you can do to stand out from the herd is thus advantageous.
Clue: Kinko's has stacks of coloured sheets you can use. ;->
