i said this is another thread that was along the same lines. i came up with this idea when i was in a crazy band that i totally thought was going somewhere... unfortunately, dudes have d*cks and they can impregnate multiple women in a very short time. that's another story.
anyway... i'm pretty sure this idea will work. and it will cost probably about 5-8 grand.
buy a school bus. reserve the space nearest the front for chilling and sleeping. the back can be your store where you sell merch and ice cream. then, the space in the centre of the bus is the stage. you have to cut along the bottom of the side, up either side of that cut, and then another cut pretty much down the centre of the roof, and make a huge hinge. this is the door, which could be propped up by 4x4s, and when suspended can display a huge poster with your band's name and maybe a youtube link or something, and perhaps your speaker system can hang from there too.
next step, locate huge crowds. pre-concert line-ups, festivals, rallies, university campuses, etc. go to the crowds, set up shop (ideally in no more than 5 or 10 minutes) and play a show that will probably get interrupted by the police. have someone videotape each one of these little stunts and throw it up on youtube and blogs and such. repeat.
fire-dancers would help, too.
