So this will be a comic book and not and night club comic

performance....right. I definately want one of those....any idea of the

price?

 

 

 

 

Sounds good dude but I would definately be applying elsewhere just in case

Sam Ash falls through. I thought for sure I had the job with Heartland Bank

last month but interviewed with Multifund Mortgagebanc to be safe. Heartland

hired someone else and I took the Multifund job (which pays better anyway).

Good luck!

Hey Adam,

We're going to buy the remaining stock you have at our store, so that

will close up our account with you (for now anyway). I've listened to every

CD and it made for hours and hours of fun. Encourage your people to come

buy up the remaining CDs and tapes (but we're sending you a check to pay you

off). Please email me your new address. I don't know how the banks treat

you out there, so who should I make the check out to? $246.21 is on its way

as soon as you get me that info!

 

Congrats on the comic appearance! I expect a signed copy of it.

 

Now get your little girlie ass into a club and perform! Agree to work

for free (maybe as a busboy) in exchange for stage time. You're supposed to

be pushing 4TVs, so do it and quit whining about Sam Ash! Your ass should

be on the street every day looking for a 4TVs venue, not a pissant job. Hit

the club management offices, bully your way past the damn secretary, and

press the flesh with the bossman. At worst, you get escorted out by

security. Get your face in their face. Rent a generator and set up in the

parking lot...even if you get arrested, you should get some publicity. You

didn't go out there to be cautious and meek!

 

Don't make me come out there...

Hey Adam...

 

Glad to hear things are picking up. Like I told you, you'll prevail with

time and effort. Folks like you always do.

 

Well, since I haven't had time to get around to calling or anything, I

figured I'd just email you with the ideas for markets to target that I'd

started kicking around with Jess.

 

First: remember how great your reception was at the Ogre? They *loved*

you there. And, from what I'm given to tell from friends who hail from

that area, LA is a comix mecca, including such prestigious venues as the

LA ComicCon (largest of its kind, I'm told). There are also tons and

oodles of comic stores, I'd imagine. Poke around in this line; I'll give

you dollars to donuts it'll bear fruit.

 

Second: Science fiction fans, particularly the con-going kind, are kissing

cousins to (and frequently the same people as) comix fans. And LA has

more cons than you can throw a stick at. I've seen some of the people of

dubious talent who get paid a fee to play at them (mostly filkers, but

some various other varieties), and you blow them out of the water. My

best recommendation on that front would be to go to:

 

dir.yahoo.com/Entertainment/Genres/Science_Fiction_and_Fantasy/Conventions/

 

and start working your way through websites of conventions. Also, finding

the local SF/F bookstore(s) (I think there's at least one, the name that

seems to be sticking in my head is Dangerous Visions) would be a good way

to find out when and where cons are going on, who needs entertainment at

parties, and so forth.

 

Both of these aforementioned audiences tend to be of somewhat higher

intellectual caliber, on average, than Joe Q. Barcrawler, and will find

your variety of humor (especially sf-related parodies such as your "Star

Wars Blew" one) right up their alley. They'll also appreciate the deeper

and more artistic stuff, I'd bet.

 

Well, it's way late and I have the flu, and my bf is pestering me to get

to bed, so I'll close for now. Feel free to email me back if you want to

kick ideas around.

 

Jess: congrats on the job! Manager even! You go girl!

All my best,

Mickey
