Not to mention giving out chocolate bars with your name on 'em!
Suz, last year was the first time I saw any business card like that - how clever! -Jeff

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.)

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.

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..... ;)

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!
