Stalking Lady Sov

060518_ladysovereign

So Zach in the office goes to Coachella and falls in love with England's finest rhyme-spitting shorty, Lady Sovereign.

And after 27 cups of warm Heineken and a James, his brain flares like a neural supernova, his mind now open to the logical truth:

  • Lady Sov is playing in 'Frisco on June 9th (with The Streets)
  • He'll build a website asking Joe Public to donate $10,000 so that he can lure her with the promise of a truly cracking night out...
  • To entice traffic, he'll film himself doing Eminem-karaoke dressed as a jelly donut...
  • ...and persuade the agency receptionist to wobble about a bit too..
  • The media will get hold of it, he'll get his money and then get his girl...if only for a few hours.

Well, I tell you, the mildly cynical among us thought it might not work.

But $692 dollars, 20 thousand visitors, interviews with every San Francisco newspaper and a feature on the front page of Spin magazine later, we're beginning to nibble our hats.

Good luck, Zach!  Although I'm not sure what you see in the filthy little strumpet.

Oy!
Your man Zach is an inspiration to us all. I have now decided to do him one better by starting up my own web-based collection in a competing scheme: to fund and film my own all-British-female-emcee three-way. All donations should be directed to my new website:

I figure a cool hundred grand ought to cover it. And I've already got the BAVC-certified Final Cut chops. Though I could use a post-production supervisor with a strong working knowledge of Ripple tool editing...
