alright, so we *might* have a BINGO, but we need your advice and see if it counts. here it goes.
1: "WILL THIS LOOK GOOD IN MY BATHROOM?" - in greensboro a girl asked me if the rubber ducky would look good. i said "yes!"
(1b) why dose everyone put posters in their bathroom? are they idiots? it's like shower...steam... hmm. Well I can't think of any unintended consequences that might pop up less than 24 hours after you sticky tack a thin piece of paper to your tiled wall, can you? So yeah, it'll look good for a little bit--kind of.
2: OUT OF PLACE CALIFORNIAN - in kentucky we saw a girl riding a skateboard, SHOELESS, with one of those knit hats with the strings that northern californians often wear. NO SHOES!
(2b)or not too be. I know that's dumb but I had something to say everywhere else, and hamlet is a damn good play.
3: BLANK (free space): FILL IN WITH MOST ABSURD ADVENTURE - in greensboro we went to a shitty dive bar to have some drinks after work. i get a txt from my (romantic - not poster) partner, "we need to talk." when he called he proceeded to dump me on poster tour :( - this also filled the "cry myself to sleep" square. i think getting dumped on poster tour is almost as bad as getting dumped on your birthday.
(3b) the other half of this team would like to point out that on the same day a friend of my family killed his wife and then himself at his wife's family's house which I think is way crazier than being dumped by your stupid boyfriend.
4: GETTING RAINED OUT OF A SALE - in dayton ohio we had an outdoor sale with no rain location. sure enough, it rains. i call up michelle and ask "what to do?" she said to put tarps on everything and "wait it out." we waited. it stopped. we sold posters. IT SUCKED.
(4b) the other half of the team would like to say that that ruled. We didn't do anything for a couple hours and it was really pleasant out despite the wind.
5: GETTING ASKED OUT ON A DATE BY A STRANGER - at a small kentucky school we had a very friendly helper that took a liking to the other half of this team. they talked alot and my poster partner joked, "imagine what would happen if this weren't a one day sale." NEXT DAY, we're at a new school and a girl approaches him.. "hey, my friend met you last evening -- she wanted to know if you had a facebook and wants to get in touch with you." it's not *technically* a date, but what do you all think? do we get the square? do we win?!
(5b) The other half of this team would like to add that that girl was totally cool. She was all like "I don't know why I went to this school it's in the middle of nowhere, really small, and Christian." But she went there because she's into making video and the program was tops. She was also working her way through school and totally bad-ass--handing me stacks of four poster books zip-tied together that I forgot to cut and not giving a shit. And yesterday as we left the school she waited to look wistfully as the truck pulled around and drove past--made me feel ten feet tall.Word.
and if we win.. WHAT DO WE GET?
thanks! - team wild dick
congratulations? and much love

i had the 'date debate' with a friend, and i think a date has to be an invitation to do something together. an invitatin to have vauge internet affinity (ie facebook) is a little weak. id blame technology, and not the sincerity 'date asker' personally.
ReplyDeletealthough that could be me just being old and old fashioned...
and if you win bingo, what do you get? maybe teams could make bingo prizes so you get a bunch of things? we didn't come to a consensus with this when making the boards...
ok - we thought the facebook thing was kind of a stretch, but that's why we wanted to consult everybody and see if we get the square or not. regardless, it's a good story.. girl totally tracked the other half of this team down!
ReplyDeleteone time during poster tour my partner totally left in the middle of a sale to go on a date with a student. they went to the art museum in the truck!
i don't know if other teams have been collecting things left at the sales like we have, but i was thinking those could be prizes maybe. right now we have some wicked early 90's shades, a green and black hipster sweater, and shopping bag that says fetus on it.
