The "I got promo" thread
- Thread starter L.D.S.
- Start date
I said "SMOKE WEED". Their pieces then become drug paraphenalia once that's been said. If I would have said "You can smoke your tobacco and pleasure your girl at the same time" it would have remained a "tobacco smoking device". It's retarded as fuck, but it is what it is. Had I not been promoting for the label, I would have hardcore made fun of the dude, but I didn't. I held my tongue and we left immediately.
I did remind him that in Jamaica, it's legal to sell pipes of any kind to tourists, but it's not legal to purchase a piece from a vendor. Another retarded ass law that shouldn't exist.
What cracked me up though, was the little hot chick sitting behind the counter. She thought my comment was funny, and would have inevitably led to me getting her number had it not been for Mr. Cockblock and his goofy ass statement.
I'll go in there the next time when I'm not promoting, buy a piece, ask him what kind of bong water they recommend, then exclaim as I'm walking out how I'm gonna smoke myself retarded on some purple kush.

When you get 3 boxes of snipes, as you can see its night time and we were exhausted from lugging that shit around for over 12 hours, so we put the remainder of the posters on the corner of a very busy area in downtown Boston. Think about it, you pull up to a stop light, and see one poster on a wall, are you going to pay attention to it? Probably not, if you see a wall with all the same posters, I'm sure your more apt to look and wonder what it is.
If I could get my hands on just one box of those posters...
The demographics of a college campus are just perfect for promotion.
I did promotion for The Watchmen (paid for my Spring Break) and I didn't even get to see it on opening weekend because it was sold out around here.
If I was Strange, I would have at least one box going to each major conference university.

When we do promo, we go hard. Neither of us drive, so I take an bus for an hour to Boston, we do up the FYE down there which is a 5 floor store. Then we do all of downtown Boston, Chinatown, Worcester, Brockton, New Bedford and a couple other various places. I don't expect you to know all of those places, but for not having our own transportation, we always do shit real big out here.
Yeah, I didn't think about the street team route. I don't know if they are very active, i guess it's worth a shot. It wouldn't take much, it's not like promo for an entire city. There are 40,000 kids walking around the same general areas all day, every day... I'll have to shoot an e-mail to this Britton fellow and get the low down.
