Help Us Sell Out Back Fence PDX on Wednesday
Okay, so Back Fence is on Wednesday. And this is our third show at our big girl space. That’s what we call the Mission because it has a bar and chairs that don’t need setting up. It’s all professional, instead of our building the stage like we did for our first show. Yes, we had out the Dewalt and were actually assembling the stage. What? No one fell through the floor!
So the big girl space. It also holds a lot more people. 250 total.
For our first two shows at the Mission, it was comfortably crowded. It’s a great space (with a balcony) and our crowd mingled and had comfortable chairs and no one was sitting on the counter like people were at our second space where I was actually worried that someone would pass out of heat exhaustion or lack of oxygen.
But in the smaller space, it was sort of cool to see people crushed against the walls and not able to move more than three inches in any direction. And I want that again. Sure, no one else really wants that, but I do. I DO!
We’re rolling out all the publicity in these next two day. So far, we had that awesome article in the Oregonian, and we’re in the Merc’s My What a Busy Week. We’ll be in the Willamette Week somewhere. And the bloggers, the tweeters, the Facebookers, will get the word out too.
What can you do to help us sell it out?
I have no idea. But I’d like you to help.
So…think of one thing you can do to sell tickets to the event. And do it. Do it. For me.
If you haven’t gotten your tickets, you might want to do that here. You can see that the Fan Club has been mobilized…god help us all.

You Know You Want It

So here it is. Before it’s even up on the Back Fence page. It’s here.
All I can say is the evening was amazing. AMAZING. After every story I just sat in my chair, my cheeks hurting from smiling and my eyes filled with tears and then I’d think, OH! I have to get up there and say something. And all I wanted to say, “Wasn’t that GREAT?!? And WOW! And GEEZ!” I’m still stunned at how amazing it was.
I flipcameraed three stories because that’s all the camera had memory for, but we have the whole damn thing recorded on a fancy camera and that will be available to me at some other point in the future. I also have the audio recording, but you can’t see swimsuits on that. SWIMSUITS!
Okay, you’re done reading about me. Here’s Miss Kiala Krazybee.
