You must see us. 10 compelling reasons why

You must see us
FLIGHTLESS BIRD Uni Bar, 19 Oct. 4 pm.

We (certificate students of Electronic Music Unit Adelaide Uni) have devoted a whole year to preparing this one gig and we need you. Why?

1.This line up will never play again. We don't want to panic you but if you don't come to this gig you've missed your one chance.

2. OK so you don't care. Well how about - The door is free and the beer is cheap.

3. It's week 11 and what else are you doing? Surely you aren't studying yet? Or if you have started studying, your diligence earns you this gig.

4. if you come along, we will talk to you and then everyone will think you are cool because the musicians talk to you - Jeeze we may even kiss you*

5. What if we play the best gig you are ever going to hear, and you miss it. Wont you feel foolish?

6. What if we are the worst bands you are every going to hear? you'll need to see us - we could be so bad that you become bitter for years. Which could be the fire that fuels your first fucked up twisted murder novel (if you haven't already written it), turning you into an overnight gothic sensation and suddenly Tarantino wants to make your book into a movie, the whole world loves you. All because you came to see us.

7. What if we become rich and famous? Imagine how much cred/money/attention from attractive members of the appropriate sex you will get if you can say that you saw us back in 2006 in our first ever gig and then you can get even more cred/money/adoration by coolly complaining about how much we've sold out, and how good our old stuff was, even though it was shit, and you only thought that because of the beer, and the fact that we kissed you.

8. Perhaps your great love - the one and only - the one you are destined to be with - will be at the uni bar that night. This gig could be your one shot at true happiness. If you miss this, you could be lonely and miserable for your whole life. Don't be a complete idiot, Don't throw your life away. Come along. Destiny awaits.

9. Failing that, maybe you'll get drunk, meet someone else drunk, and snog with them, happily and noisily in the corner, completely oblivious to anything else going on around you including us. Thanks a lot. We thought you were coming to listen to us, not snog some drunken floosy in the corner all night. Great audience member you turned out to be.

10. If no one turns up we will cry. Could you face yourself knowing you made us cry?

Dear Mr got milk?
you don't sound too keen about the whole kissing thing. Could we clarify kissing isn't obligatory. You can come and just listen to the music if you'd prefer!
Hope that clarifies the situation and we would like to apologise for any misunderstanding.
yours sincerely
