O&A Party in August

[BuffaloPaul]

Since my email address is attached to the O&A party page, many people are contacting me for promotional permissions. I usually tell them to contact Donovan's Reef for permission to pass out flyers or things like that. The latest email I received was from a fan with a great idea and the ability to produce bumper stickers. He wrote to me:

My name is Chris B***** and I to am a follower of O&A. I have access to and use a vinyl sticker machine that is capable of printing crap loads of wonderful stickers. I didn't want to post it on the guestbook in case something terrible happens to our sticker machine between now and the party, but I would like to plan on showing up with several hundred new stickers.

I have designs for a new WOW sticker, a NORTON STINKS sticker, and a DON AND MIKE STILL SUCK sticker. If you would like to take a look at the designs and let me know what you think, I'd appreciate it.

I'm not going to try and make a profit off of them, but would you have anything against me selling them for one dollar a piece just to offset the cost of the materials I \"borrow\" from the shop? If it would be too much hassle, don't worry about it, I'll give them away. Let me know what you think.

Thanks,
Chris

I wrote him back this message...

Chris,

Do you have an image (jpg) file of what these stickers look like? Email me those images if you have them, so I can place them on the O&A party page and let people know to keep an eye open for you. I have no control over who sells what at the party, and you may want to check with the manager of Donovan's Reef to see if you can sell them inside his place. It's up to you, I think you could probably just sell for a buck and no one would really care. A buck is nothing, and they would appreciate your efforts. I don't know if you coulc make a special \"I survived the Donovan's Reef O&A Party 2003 Party... WOW!\" sticker. Then I am sure the owner would not mind them being sold within his esablishment... hell he may even buy a ton of them himself for future customers to buy after they actual crawl back the next day after actually surviving it!

You can really make this sticker thing work, and if we get the word out before the party, you can gauge the amount you should actually print up. I am going to place your idea on a couple of message boards and see what people think about the idea.

Let me know what you guys think of this idea and if you have any other ideas about it.
