I'm calling bull**** on this. If you want business cards, great. Get some. A lot of people have business cards, either their own or their agents, and it is too much of a pain to have to wait while lines of people are writing down your email address at an expo/screening/lot/etc. My time is too valuable to wait for you to find a pen and ask me to spell out my name or email.

Mike, WTH would ANYBODY NOT be smart enough to carry around biz cards?! I totally agree with you on this. Biz cards must be an essential tool for ANYONE in the business of show. No matter where you go, it's easier to whip out a card than to look for a piece of paper and a pen. Good call, my friend! Smile

I wouldn't over think it.

Cheers,

There's the rule of being cool or proper to not have business cards but it's far outweighed by the inconvenience.

I know the rule, and I've always followed it. Then again, I don't live in L.A. so if I'm there I'm always meeting with people in a prearranged way. People in the PUA community have the same rule in a big way, but that's another story! For that read:

The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists by Neil Strauss
(Sep 6, 2005)

http://www.amazon.com/Game-Penetrating-Secret-Society-Artists/dp/0060554738/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1256416950&sr=8-1

Like Cats with log lines, they do a lot of field testing to see what works!

Happily married with wife and kids,
Martin
