back-tracking on Orlando PR and boning up for Atlanta
* Recently I began to realize that I kind of dropped the ball as far as basic PR with the Orlando billboard project. So last night I fired off a bunch of e-mails to writers at the Orlando Sentinel to see if I couldn't garner some media attention.
Basically I said: "Hey! I pulled off a major publicity stunt in your city, now won't you please give me some publicity!"
To my surprise, I got a response by lunch time today from one of their feature writers. She says she's gonna run the story by her editor. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
*This afternoon I did a little snooping around to see how fabric billboards are mounted. As I suspected they run some type of rod through the hem and then ratchet the canvas to the frame. That's how they get them so "face-lift" tight. (I thought I was going to have to climb a billboard to get an answer, but I found this structure just above eye level in downtown St. Pete.
*In an act of petty rebellion I absconded with one of those little thumb-print pads at the bank. Usually I just smear my inked up thumb all over their loan fliers, or freshly pledged teller booth--but today, the teller dude was just especially slow and incompetent. He called my customer at the hospital (where he works as a surgeon, I guess) and bothered him with this really wishy-washy, apologetic mumble-voice, trying to confirm the check.
What made matters worse was that the bank was showing "Honey, I Blew up the Kid!" for the second day in a row as a bank customer anesthetizer. What a stupid movie! They could at least show a good bank robbery movie like Bonnie and Clyde, or Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

Since I don't have any other tricks up my sleeve today, here's an old stand-by: a naked girl.
