I would like to have some in hand for the Atlanta show on the 17th. This is just one very simple thing that we all could do and it seems that their is a lot of fan support to do this.
We will wait to hear what we can do...
I would recommend going to www.vistaprint.com and click on the FREE BUSINESS CARDS logo in the upper right corner of the page. Pick your background, enter your text, and you're good to go.
I experimented with one this morning, with the blue water background I think on page 3 of the available backgrounds. I typed "Discover Joe Bonamassa!" in the main line, and then "Visit www.jbonamassa.com" in line 2. Then I skipped 1 line and entered "for photographs, tour dates, audio and video clips" Then the last 2 lines I put "This card a courtesy of The Joe Bonamassa Street Team."
It looked ok but I didn't save it or order it at the time. The neat think about their website is that you can try several different designs and see what looks the best before ordering.
As to the management issue, I think all we need to do is say, "This is what we want to do on our own. As long as we stay within (insert text here) agreed guidelines, are you opposed to this?" and then just do it.
