Often, though, glossy cards will only be glossy on the front, leaving plenty of usable space on the back for writing. (As I stare irritably at my glossy-fronted business cards.)

Re: From the other side of the handshake
At any stationary store you can buy sheets of business card blanks such as Avery 8871. Microsoft Word has built in templates to support this. You can simply make them up in Word and print sheets on your own printer. You can do simple text on white or download a background template from the web. I forget where I found mine.
As already been said, they don't have to be fancy, just clear and easy to read with the required info.

Re: From the other side of the handshake
Jes' make sure the stationery store is completely stationary; you don't want to risk injury by trying to open the door while it's still moving.....

Re: From the other side of the handshake
It was great meeting you, Dave, and so many talented musicians. It was a great experience for me (for the fifth time!) and I hope to do it again next year.
Take care all!

I was born in Broooklyn. So English is my second language... I still make some mistakes.
