<DIV align=justify><FONT size=4>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=justify><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV align=justify><FONT size=4>I'm noodling with the idea of a
guerilla-marketing campaign to promote my magazine, <EM><STRONG>Atrocity
Parade</STRONG></EM>. (See <STRONG><FONT
color=#ff0000>SacramentOfHeresy.Wordpress.com</FONT></STRONG> or search
"<STRONG>Atrocity Parade"</STRONG> on Kindle's and Nook's
sites.)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=justify><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV align=justify><FONT size=4>These are the kinds of activities I'm thinking
of offhand:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=justify><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<UL>
<LI>
<DIV align=justify><FONT size=4>Barging into public places (where there's
likely to be a literary crowd) with a portable mic and doing readings of
three minutes or less to a captive audience</FONT></DIV></LI>
<LI>
<DIV align=justify><FONT size=4>Commandeering other people's mics (bands,
etc., with their pre-arranged cooperation)</FONT></DIV></LI>
<LI>
<DIV align=justify><FONT size=4>Bringing crowds to abandoned schoolbusses and
other hollowed-out deathtraps for quickie reading-related
events</FONT></DIV></LI>
<LI>
<DIV align=justify><FONT size=4>During all of the above, helpers would be hand
out promotional materials and the whole thing would
be videotaped for YouTube.</FONT></DIV></LI></UL>
<DIV align=justify><FONT size=4> Think a milder form of the activities in
John Waters' <EM>Cecil B. DeMented</EM>.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=justify><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV align=justify><FONT size=4>Some initial requirements would be:</FONT></DIV>
<UL>
<LI>
<DIV align=justify><FONT size=4>Reliability</FONT></DIV></LI>
<LI>
<DIV align=justify><FONT size=4>Follow-through on commitments (show
up on time and do what you say you're going to do)</FONT></DIV></LI>
<LI>
<DIV align=justify><FONT size=4>Experience organizing flashmobs or other event
planning</FONT></DIV></LI>
<LI>
<DIV align=justify><FONT size=4>Improv skills and the ability to be
outrageous without intimidating or hurting anyone.</FONT></DIV></LI></UL>
<DIV align=justify><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV align=justify><FONT size=4>Just give me a call or drop me a line if you're
interested. At this point, your input will help bring structure to my
plan.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=justify><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV align=justify><FONT size=4>I'm also still recruiting illustrators (unpaid
for the time being), reviewers who could guarantee placement in one print
publication <EM>and</EM> one online publication, and readers of Kindle
or Nook product.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT size=4>See you soon,</FONT></DIV>
