SERIOUS TJ QUESTION...

How would you go about getting some sort of a "subversive", indirect sponsorship for an slightly illegal event which would definitely be seen by millions and provide immeasurable amounts of WOM and guerrilla marketing advertising?

I mean, say someone wanted to approach Adgabber with a "deal" about base jumping off the Sears Tower in an "ADGabber" shirt...knowing CNN/FOX/ABC and venues like YOUTUBE would be running clips of said event...

Would you do it?

you'd do it how you'd expect to do it - find them and talk about it face 2 face - where does Mister Hall drink? - what way does he go to work? - where does he work? - where does his PA take lunch? - what conference is speaking at - etc etc - who knows him better than me, can i find them? Could I send a parcel with a monile phone in with a mission impossible ring tone - watch it be delivered then call it.

make short list
make plan

I can, without a doubt, say that once it's done...you will ALL know about it. ALL of you.

Glad to see somebody's keeping them two in line. 'Bout a year ago they broke out in a bar fight in Destin, FL, throwing conch fritters - I believe those were MY conch fritters, actually - after somebody dumped a martini on the waitress . . .

She wasn't a waitress Mary and J.S. Gilbert started that one, some joke about about an Irish man, insect repellent and a cocktail shaker...how did it go again??? Of all people to share that joke with, some people have no sense of humour.

I passed one the other day, holding a sign: "Will pitch for Stoli." Three people gave him a look and muttered something about this being a Grey Goose town - it was just sad.
