New Cookbook Available: Wonder Treats That Bands Fantasize About

Here's the latest IBWAM Cookbook named Wonder Treats That Bands Fantasize About featuring the favorite recipes of :Hotspur, Lights Resolve, Of Colour, The Early Coastal, Mozart's Sister, BOYS will be BOYS, Margot MacDonald, Matt in the Clouds & Playground Etiquette.

As always, handmade and one of a kind. All profits benefit IBWAM.
There's a lot of love put into this: each book takes about 6 hours of actual labour to make (not including printing/drying time). Punching holes into thick paper over 300 times isn't the most fun thing to do :p
The cookbook will be for sale on our Etsy Store for $15 and will be shipped through USPS media mail. Other mailing options are available at the buyer's discretion.
Need convincing? Let Hotspur work their magic.

Also, some supplies I had ordered from some Etsy sellers just came in! Look out for cute rose rings and hair pins in the $2-3 range :)

Volunteer and Help Us Out!

1. Everyone’s Welcome!

2. Promoting us, whether that means leaving some flyers at a concert (we can send you a file to print out, or feel free to make your own)

3. Donating. All profits go to helping furthen the group (ie. ordering T-Shirts to sell), or directly to specific charities. This December 2009, we will be donating to the DC Central Kitchen. We’ll post verification when it comes in on this blog to validate our donation.

4. Telling us about bands you think would like to help us. Or, conversely, telling bands you think would like to help us about us.

5. If you’re good at making things, feel free to contact us about donating items for us to sell in our etsy store. We’ll give you full credit in the item description to help promote YOU. We’re pretty flexible when it comes to profits, just keep in mind whatever you choose for us to keep is yet another way to donate! Also, etsy store policies forbid us from linking to outside shops, so if you have say a vendio store, we can link to your email, myspace, twitter, or whatever else you use to contact your fans :)

6. Making IBWAM Cookbooks. We send you the files and instructions and you put them together. Not for the faint-hearted :P

7. Supporting us through our etsy store (www.IBWAMStore.etsy.com). Remember, buying items is just like donating except that you get something awesome and unique at the same time!

If you have any talent not mentioned here that you feel could help, or just want to chat, please do not hesitate to contact us at IndieBandsWithaMission@live.com.
