Someone a few comments up had the “funny t-shrt” idea and I think that could work but Make them not only Funny but Loud and BIG Letters with a one word BAM hit you in the face comment ie Endurance.

Also maybe from there head into NYC times square tip off a few reporters or magazines ( good or bad ) and do something wacking and crazy run around naked start a show… anything to get some press shots in the biggest and best city in the US

There is no such thing as bad press.

Ok so I am at Stanford University for the summer right now. I have gone around my drom giving people your free mix tape and making chester french fans. However very soon on August 8th there is a formal on a boat in San Fran bay. I do not have a date and it sucks. I have tried all my guy friends and they are all busy. Anyway my idea was that you come as my dates and in the middle of the dance we take over the DJ booth and play your guys songs!!!!. Everyone who is on the boat will get introduced to you and or know about you but like you even more.Also I would bring in copies of your mix tape and give them to everybody. By the way I just wanted to thank you for the tickets that my friends and I won in SF when you were at Miss Sixty. It made our summer and maybe our lives. I know it is in like 2 weeks but hey I thought I would take a shot. Georgia Hi, I have a great Idea! but you have to act fast if you want it to work.

It is basically a big party we have every year where 15-20 couples (25-35 friends) participate in Table Shuffleboard along with plenty of yard games and a large cookout and drinking. We usually have an Ipod mix going all night providing the background music. This year, I was thinking of having it "co-sponsored" by Jacque Jams Vol. 1 and have the CD cover featured on the poster we hang up showing the different prizes/rules and such as well as playing songs off both CDs throughout the night and having burnt copies for the players if they want to get familiar. And then depending on how crazy night gets, tape the highlights and put on youtube. Thoughts or suggestions???

I have done this at a couple of Best Buys to ensure they are at the front of the rack and have high visibility. Make sure though they are still located in the correct "C" location, but if they have multiple CDs, space them out so you block out "Chicago" or another C named band. -For birthday presents for family and friends, include a copy of Jacque Jams with your actual present, or even better include a purchased copy of Love the Future. -On the same note of the last idea, if you go to a wedding leave a gift wrapped copy of Love the Future at the Gift Table and simply include on the card, from "Max and DA". This will at least get the wedding party talking at the Gift opening the next day when they open it and the Title of the CD is perfect for a newly married couple. That's all for now.

Rap music and exercise is apparently a popular mix

I saw you guys at Central Park for the summer stage concert series. Excellent JOB! I went up to Max during Q-tips run on stage while he was over at the concessions and shook his hand and told him good job, because it really was! The way to spread the good woord about Chester French is to just keep doing what your doing! Keep touring, keep pumping out that music of yours. If anything, I go to school at the University of Virginia and I have friends in the program council. I am gonna talk to them about hopefully geting ou guys to come and perform down at UVA. We have already had Jay-Z, TI, Common, and soon U2 will be coming down to perform, you guys would be great there. The Fall/Spring College tour would be excellent. Kicking off at the University of Wisconsin and ending at Harvard would be great! I keep telling my friends about your, and playing your CD in my car, I downloaded it after you told the crowd to check out your website. I play you guys on my computer at work in my cubicle..you guys are just sick! Keep up the good work and I hope to see you guys perform again soon. College tour would be excellent. If you could se if you can get a little bio of u guys done on TV and premiere on VH1 or so. Other than that, you guys are already doing what you can. Good luck and later fellas!!!! Chester French!

But instead of booklets, you'd be passing out singles of your feature song with a cover of you two dressed as sad clown angels with crooked tinsel halos. It's foolproof. I would take one.
