Subject: [total-madness] EXCITING MAD
STUFF!
OK, Maddies, the time
has come to unveil a brand new feature on the list. It is to be called the
MadStunt (or in Scotland, the McMadStunt).
We all seem agreed
that 'Drip Fed Fred' needs our help in its promotion. So, the plan is this. In
the coming three weeks or so until its release, Maddies should be out and
about distributing fliers, leaving them in pubs, putting them under car
windscreen wipers, etc., incorporated in a pub crawl, natch!
But, the pi�ce de
resistance is the poster. Simply saying, "'Vote For Fred', The new single by
Madness featuring Ian Dury out on 14 February". Stick one of these in the most
outrageous place you can think of, take a piccie of it, scan it, and send it
to me, giving details of exactly where it was posted. These will then be
uploaded on a website (details to come). All entries will be judged by myself
and the WeeMon, with an outrageously small prize for the winner. Competition
is open to all Maddies, even if they live outside the UK where chances of
release might be slim. The more ridiculous the spot, the better.
Anyone
requiring a template for poster or flier, in whatever wp format they want, is
advised to contact Simesy ASAP at the address below. Let's go for it large,
and show Virgin how it should be done. Find below, a few ideas to set you on
your way.
Hospital doors! Prison doors! Police car windows! Police
Stations! In the rear window of your car! As a banner on the front page of
your website! On the door of the DC! And the Good Mixer! On the scoreboard at
half-time at a footie or rugby stadium! As a subject in every e-mail! On the
back of your car! etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. Be as Mad as you can [but don't do
anything illegal ;o)]
I look
forward to receiving the entries. D-Day minus 26 days (possibly) and
counting!
Stay Mad 8-)
