Craigslist

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, so if its not feel free to move it...
I'm looking for a band to play with over the summer, and was planning on putting up a craigslist ad sometime soon to 'advertise'. I was wondering if anyone had any tips on crafting a good post, like what information I should put up, if I need to include a link of me playing (and what kind of playing - would my band's EP be sufficient?)... That kind of stuff. Also, and this is really the main reason I'm asking for advice on this, what section should I post in? haha, should it be the 'skilled trade / craft' in jobs or services? Or should it be somewhere else? I haven't found a music section, nor have I found a similar post.
The reason I'm doing this through craiglist and not with some friends is that I'm not in the area I'll be spending the summer in right now, and won't be until the beginning of summer. (I'm going for a few days toward the end of march, so I figured I could look around in person while I'm there but wanted to get a foot in the door).

Be well
 
Wrong sub forum, but there is a musicians section on CL. You would post there.

+1.

Be clear about what you want/are willing to play, and what your goals are (regular gigging band? Just jam on the weekend?). Also, stuff like age and life situation are often relevant, like if you have a car, wife and kids, etc. Be prepared for a lot of flakes to contact you and never follow through.
