refreshing life and living refreshed |
In the beginning of 2009, sitting safely and financially secure in my Minneapolis apartment I made a pact with myself. Get out of this city. Get out and explore something - something somewhere, something anywhere, and do it soon. Soon became Sept 30th, a one-way ticket bound for SFO. Join me as I establish a new life, the next chapter of my San Franciscan life. No job, no apartment, no established network. It’s time to start fresh, new; it’s time to be refreshed with life. |

Getting-By-Gig: Wicked Week at Macy’s
In a nutshell… Street Marketing 101: Don’t take yourself (or others) too seriously or you’ll never end your day feeling happy.
What did I do? Recruit as many people as I possibly could to come into Macy’s for the Macy and Wicked Halloween Weekend Celebration. How? Here a few of the many callouts I used to attract Union Square pedestrians:
“Hi! Would you like to have a free *Wicked* makeover at Macy’s today?”
“Want to look *Wicked* cool? Check out Macy’s FREE Halloween Face Painting today 10-12!
Afterward I helped the Macy’s girls hand out Wicked goodie bags (Note: majority of Macy’s Public Relations team is female, not sure if this is due to supply or demand.).
End result? Paid $100 for four hours, but only had to work for three. Plus I received three autographed Wicked Playbills to give to friends. Wicked cool, right?
