Heh, funny story for all of you:
I went downtown today to try out my new (sings) SLAYER (/sings) skateboard and pick up some groceries, and I decided to take the Anthrax stickers with me, too. I decided to try and drop some stickers off at Tower Records, and after telling them "I'm with the Sanctuary Records Promo Dept.", (I just didn't tell them I was an independent
), they let me drop off some stickers:
Then I decided to try FYE again. I had 15 minutes until my train got there, so I didn't have a lot of time. I was about to go into the mall when I happened by 5 skateboarders. I thought about giving them stickers, when one of them asks me about my t-shirt. I had my Metallica 2005 tour shirt on, and said "Yeah, I went to the show both nights." This turns into a conversation about metal and Anthrax. I give one to everyone, and one starts to put it on their board:
They all decided to put one on their boards after they saw me take a photo of their friend. I give them all an extra sticker for their stereos and stuff, and they ask me how they join the street team. I was more than happy to give them the info. I was pretty shocked to meet them out of nowhere and partly to see some skaters into Anthrax!
So I go back home, and I should mention that seeing posters for music are rare around here and normally are torn down after a week or two, and I live in an area dominated by, yep, rap. So I see these posters for some no-name rapper and decided that his blank-white-t-shirt needed some artwork on it:
