Title: ms. y's sticker free-for-all:  MACH II!
Post by: ms. yvon on Jun 03, 2009, 03:14 AM
for any of you who missed the first go-'round, or if you'd just like another,  i've had a second round of "RAMPANT BADASSERY" stickers made.  
these are slightly different than the first round.  where the tag line on the first batch said, "YOW!  2008"  these are printed, "BOOGITY!  2009."   it's the little things.   ;)

here is the original post about the stickers from last summer (in the movie biz, this is called, "an origin story"    :) ):
Quote
before the waterfront show i ordered some stickers that i'd planned to pass out at the concert.

they say:  RAMPANT BADASSERY  on them.  they've finally arrived and they are pretty rad!  if you want one, just send me a self-addressed stamped envelope.  the sticker will fit in a letter sized envelope (the ones that are about 9 x 3 in.--i don't have a ruler on me. )

to get my address, PM me.

i've got 100 of these stickers and will pass them out after the upcoming shows (portland, seattle, los angeles)  until they are gone.  for the love of pete, please don't put the stickers on anything at the venues.

**THE STICKERS HAVE NO MMJ LOGOS OR TEXT ON THEM, AND ARE NOT CONNECTED TO THE BAND AT ALL--this is strictly the descriptive line i'm giving this tour.  every tour, really, but let's not quibble.**    [smiley=beer.gif]

i kept a tally of where i gave out or mailed the stickers in this thread:
http://www.mymorningjacket.com/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1221009602

so, if you'd like a sticker, shoot me a pm and we'll get this party started!

MACH II, Y'ALL!  IT'S ON!

fun facts:  please don't offer to send any money.  the stickers are inexpensive and it's been a hoot to give them away.   [smiley=beer.gif]

I was thinking of putting the sticker on my riding helmet but if I went into competition I'm not sure the judges would like it all too much.
I may stick it on my record player though or some form of musical instrument.

i handed the sticker headed to connecticut to our office intern, bradley as he was leaving on his last day.  forgot to ask him which town in connecticut he's returning to.  so!  this will just be a state listing.  still,
CONNECTICUT IS STATE NUMBER 7!

so, stickers from batch number two arein:
[size=16]14% OF US STATES!! and 3 COUNTRIES![/size]
i'm gonna have to hook up a US graphic in which i can color code the states with and without stickers.  i'll include the stats from the first round, too.

ohh...stand by.  just got a good idea.   :D

i found this US map online.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/msyvon/Stickermap.jpg)
 i'll color in all the states that have gotten stickers.  as new states get added, i'll color them in an post a new pic with the updates.

i'll be using the camera on my laptop to take the pix, so they won't be very clear, but we'll get the idea.
i'll come up with some fun way to indicate the non-US countries.  :)
