You guys blew $300. That would be a lot better invested in the local scene, even if it sucks, to at least build up some sort of fan-base other than a "friend-base." That money could goto stickers, CDs, t-shirts, or other merch to give out to get a local fan. I would rather have a few local fans that love us than 1 fan 4 hours away who won't see us again.
