Advertising opportunity

I'm publishing a book called the Drifter's Escape, which is a combination of stories and a role-playing game. I want to advertise some other stuff in it, but I don't want to advertise a bunch of role-playing games.

So I'm asking: Does anyone have non-roleplaying oriented independent projects that they want some attention for? Art, music, fiction, craft, and anything else would all be appropriate. Available world-wide is preferable, given my audience (if you want to advertise your booth at the local craft fair, that's fine, but I don't think it'll be very useful to you.)

Alternatively, what's your favorite indie music, art, fiction, poetry, craft? Do you think that they'd want ad-space in my book?

I'm currently writing an article for a zine called Boomtube, I'll ask the editor if she wants in.

I was hoping you'd show up.

Do you know any music folks who might be interested?

Though I can easily see how political hiphop would fit in nicely with Drifter's Escape, I don't know how much it would really link to your demographic market. I'll also ask around the poetry folks too.

If my audience doesn't like it already, that's great. Maybe I'll clue them into something that they didn't think they'd like.

I'm also trying to avoid a wall-o-geek-stuff. Boomtube is kinda on the edge with this: it's geeky but it's also political.

I wasn't thinking a geeky demographic, but more fine-art-y and intellectual. But I'll see who gets back to me on it.
