Rock N Shot Comedy Tour

Just got off the phone with The Warden.  Another hour plus phone conversation.  I talk more on the phone to The Warden and The Lifer than anyone else, even my girlfriend.  Anyway, The Warden is hard at work right now doing his graphic design thing.  LBB has been speaking to a few different liquor companies recently about sponsorship.  One of the companies would like us to create a short video that conveys our message and our goals.  This video will be played for the decision makers of said liquor company in hopes of LBB receiving some financial backing in 2012.

One of the big goals The Parole Board has for the upcoming year is to take the Rock N Shot Comedy Show nationwide, thus becoming the Rock N Shot Comedy Tour.  We already have INMATES in numerous cities wells that are willing to help facilitate this.  The plan is to take one band and comedian from Dallas on the road with us and fill the other spots with local talent from each city well.  The only obstacle standing in our way is money.  And that's where we turn to the sponsors.  

The deadline for the video is right around the corner.  Thus far, negotiations with this liquor company have been painless.  I hope the trend continues.  Either way, we will know sometime in January whether or not this particular company will be part of the tour. 

For now, we just need to focus on delivering a quality video.  Thankfully The Warden is a creative genius when it comes to visual arts because we have a lot riding on this.  If The Lifer and I were forced to create the video on our own, it would have the production quality comparable to that of the music videos my six year old daughter makes with her Fisher Price camcorder.
