Middle

Well yesterday was street date day which meant the changing of the p.o.p. displays,woohoo. In the fantasy world the p.o.p aka display material,posters banners,clings etc would be put up in advance,but this is the world of fearless leader, in his world display material wouldn't go up early because customers might actually take notice and wonder when said release is coming out. Don't want to put that one up, it has a street date listed on it and you know how labels are always changing those street dates.Thats how things were for a while,now I just put the stuff up as soon as i get a chance. Had to make sure that the middle window remained clear so fearless leader would be able to gawk at the ladies as they strolled by. It would be a major problem if anything else was put in the middle window. I know he was a little nervous when the local Geffen ADR wanted to hang a Black Music Month Banner up in the middle window. Lucky for the ADR that the banner only covered the top most portion of the window. Also of interest is the placement of the A-Frame, its an outdoor sign, sandwich board type of thing provided to us by EMI Music Group. When I drag it out as we open I place it right in front of the middle window. I didn't realize how fanatical fearless leader was about his view until he actually dragged the A-Frame further down the sidewalk away from the middle window.

It's nice to see that you've stepped up your game. I remember those AngryMan letters....you've come a long way.

Next step....Street Assasins.

Yeah I think I still have some of my butcher paper ramblings scattered about. And I wish I wz responsible for the Angryman Letters. Nah he wouldn't do that to me w the sandwich board,there could be some very bad Karma associated w that.

You know whats funny about the sandwich board a-frame thing. Now fearless leader makes it a point to get here early just so he drag it out and set it up as far away from the middle window as possible.

Yeah that would be funny, i was thinking of the same thing, since he puts it where you can't see it from the inside...
