A Fringe Quickie (#330) with ‘The Last Drop’

Questions answered by Dante Passarelli.

Q1: Aside from this Quickie, what is the most desperate marketing tactic you plan on using to get bums in seats this August? 280 chars

I mean, didn’t Erin Brockovich get 634 signatures in five days? I’m ready to drive around and knock door to door very smiley and politely. Except when people open up, I’ll yell “YOU’VE BEEN SERVED” and give them papers with our venue’s address on it. I’m confident it’ll work.
