TRON TRON TRON


IMAX THEATER. MIDNIGHT SHOWING. IM. THERE.

Myspace Whore

Recently I've been back on myspace because my bosses over at Animal House VIP need me to promote the hell out of their 18+ Halloween event.

Along with Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre's official DJ on decks, this party hosted by WILD 94.9 will feature topless gogo dancers and a "male review" for the ladies. Meaning dudes are stripping down to nothing.

Sigh.

Every time I feel hella sleazy about blasting out these invites to these 18 year old girls in the 94109 area code, I have to keep reminding myself, 'Just pay your dues, Jack, pay your dues.'

The goal is to do what they need me to do and keep building my base so that in the future, they can entrust me with these electro nights I've been pushing ever since I got hired. Good news is that they're definitely down--was thisclose to securing Super Mash Bros for aforementioned party--but for now I'll just have to be patient and work my butt off.

Anyway, here are some interesting/not so cute things I learned about the 18-20 yr old female demographic in the 94109 area code.

1. Lots and lots of baby pictures
2. Too many RIPs in their profile headings

But you know what, this myspace promoting does actually work. I've gotten at least 15 positive responses and gratitude for the invite, and I think it's great that people actually think I'm handpicking my invitees just because I'm addressing them by their names.

In the same vain, it's pretty funny that people feel the need to respond with things like, "Can't make it I'm gonna be out of town", or straight up "Sorry not gonna happen".

But if you wanna talk about straight up, one bix got downright cutty.

Don't really have a method of keeping track of people I already messaged about the invites, so I was afraid I may have accidentally sent the same people multiple blasts.

Well I was right to worry. This is what "Confused" had to say back:

message me again and die

So nice.

Then there's Priscilla John, 19 year old self-proclaimed "gypsy", who just HAD to tell me exactly how she felt about the nature of the invitation:

Strip show? And topless go go dancers? That is so so horrible!

A quick 3 second scan through her myspace page might've helped before I sent off the invite.

Who I'd Like to Meet: JESUS!!!!

Well, the event is in less than 3 days and I just got a couple more area codes to work on until then. Won't be attending this particular party, but I'll be posting it at Nightmare on Van Ness, our 21+ event in downtown that same night. Looking forward to getting paid and working with my friends. Oh and maybe I'll even get to meet Far East Movement. Chill.

EDIT: Good news: I literally just received word that I got a couple ticket sales. Boom.
