A few weeks ago, we were asked to be part of a touring sample promotion for the drink brand Neuro. The tour coincides with the current Perez Hilton Presents! concert tour which is making its way across the country. So far, we’ve been to Atlanta, Washington DC, Philadelphia, Boston, and New York distributing samples to patrons prior to the show. Tomorrow we’ll be at Chicago’s own Metro passing out samples of Neuro. Stop by, grab a drink, and say hello!

For their 25th season, the American Theatre Company opens with their new rock musical Yeast Nation (The Triumph of Life). The world’s first family, a colony of salt-eating yeasts, float in the brine of the primordial soup under the rule of a tyrannical baritone. When resources deplete and fear pervades, the faith of a single-celled dreamer starts an evolutionary chain reaction that changes the course of existence forever. We will be executing a poster and flyer distribution campaign for this highly anticipated show. Be sure to get your tickets to opening night right away!
