Che, I concur with what Cody said; Here in Salem we have been staying at around 3 people pre meeting, with a few visitors who temporary attend to get a problem or two solved. Stay vigilant, because people will eventually show up. Some things we found that work here in Salem are:
* Small flyer (poster) half page, the larger ones seem to get taken down more often to make room. * Meet at least once pre month at the same place and time. * Meet on a weekday, (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings work best, because many people leave town on a Friday for the weekend, and most holidays fall on a Monday, so those days near the weekend may not be as good a turnout.) However you may find in your area, that people may be willing leave their own town to travel to yours on the weekend ;-) Just a few ideas though - great work on LoCo evens page. Ciao for now Phil.
