I don't live in that area, but I have worked promotions in the past and had some luck posting and spreading the word at the local colleges. Campuses are pretty empty during the summer, but a good time to get the word out would be Orientation weeks and the first week of classes when students, especially new ones, are checking into what's going on in the area. Posters or flyers in the Music Dept., near the bookstore and other spots around campus could drum up a lot of interest. Most dorms have events boards, and some schools will let you post event info on their web sites. You've probably thought of this already, but I thought I'd mention it just in case since it worked well for me in the past. I was even able to get a music professor who taught the Music Appreciation course to add an event to his list of off-campus activities that would count for extra credit if the students attended and wrote a paper on it. I imagine students thought, hmm, chamber music or concert where they sell beer....no brainer.
That was MY idea fucker. I also said the radio station promoting the show should broadcast live at Notre Dame and play a HUGE block of songs by the artists that are going to be at the show. Give away a few tickets, have a call in contest and you'll create some sales. The MAIN problem is that a LOT of college kids probably know the songs but have no idea who the lead singer is, and the fact that Jimi Jamison and Keagy and Blades are NOT being touted as Survivor and Night Ranger is a HUGE problem. My ND idea is a good one I think. Andrew, you need flyers? PM me anytime. I can go ANY weekend you'd like and take care of that. Saint Mary's ALL GIRL College should have a flyer on every dorm room door.

That makes no sense to me. 
You would think the Survivor board would be completely buzzing with this. 
Do we need to go to some of these other boards and hype it up?
