COSI

Hi!
Yesterday I had a PR event for Godspell (the show I am currently involved in), and it was at COSI. I don't know if they have COSI in states other than the one I live in, but it's basically a musuem of science and all that jazz, where you can meet fellow geeks longing to geek out before school starts. So, we get there, and the parking guy wouldn't let us in! I was told to give my name to the parking attendant and in return they would give us free parking, and a wristband to get into COSI free. It took two tries to get our heavily accented parking attendant to let us in! But, alas, we got in, and I headed to the break room, where the cast would be doing vocal and physical warmups. After performing, we were told to go around COSI and hand out flyers to random people passing by. Sounds easy, right? Not really. Especially if you are dressed as a hippie and have pounds of stage makeup. So instead of just upfront telling people "Come see Godspell" and shoving a colorful flyer in their faces, we decided to go on the elevator and serenade people with songs from the show. It worked... kind of. After that, we went into Progress (where we would fit in) which is an exhibit that takes you through generations. It's pretty flipping cool because it seems like you are actually in that generation, just walking down the street. When we got to the 60s, we all broke out into "Welcome to the 60s" from Hairspray at the same time! We scared some kid in a diner, too.
Mission Accomplished!
