Abusing Tim Stiles

It has been brought to my attention that I "over-promote" my band's performances. I suppose there's a fine line between promoting and being annoyingly persitent. Sometimes in advance of one of our shows, I'll send out bulk e-mails, post flyers on Facebook pages, send out show invites on myspace and send "spam" text messages the day of the show. My buddy Tim Stiles brought this all to my attention, and we had a "meeting" regarding my promotion techniques. He explained to me that "more is less," and that's there's no need to let someone know 12 times about a single event.

I completely agree with Tim's theory, but just to be "funny" I thought I'd "let him know" about our show this past Sunday by sending him 6 text messages the day of the performance. They started out normal, pretending to be regular "spam" messages, but as they day wore on they got more and more ridiculous.
