Today turned out to be my craziest day so far. The plan was for me to go out into Kenwood, dressed as Uncle Sam, and talk to people while handing out stickers to promote the show. More shameless promotion for the show as my efforts were going to be videotaped by Mark the producer. We started out by going over to Dick’s Sporting Goods and Barnes and Noble. We were able to grab lots of good footage over there. Then we made our way over to the Kenwood Towne Centre to interact with people and hand out more stickers. Most of the people I interacted with were pleased to see me and got a few laughs out of my appearance. However, after getting about an hour’s worth of video footage, we were confronted by a security guard who told us we couldn’t videotape in the mall. So we went outside to get a few more shots and then we’d leave. However, the security guard who talked to us came rushing out after us as we approached our car. He told us that we couldn’t tape outside the mall either and if we didn’t leave immediately then we’d both be arrested. This is the extremely short version of the tale, but it covers all the bases. After we were kicked out, we made our way back to the station to finish the show. Comedian Josh Sneed had joined Mo in the studio for the final hour. Towards the end of the show, Mark and I went on the air to tell our story of the day. We got a ton of laughs at our tale, and my characterization of Uncle Sam got everyone cracking up. The edited video will be available on Mo’s blog and my blog at TheLotD.com very shortly. This day didn’t just teach me about promotions, but I built some character too. I have never been that close to being arrested before, and I shouldn’t have because we didn’t do anything wrong. Nevertheless, I gained a lot of respect from my peers for taking one for the team.
