Cut out a thick strip of white cardboard and seal it over the back your neck with some duct tape: that's your collar. Throw some cement on your hair and wear a white outfit. Now you're a preacher! Have a friend follow you with a video camera. When you get to the store:
US LEAP Organic Consumers Association Global Exchange Be sure to send a copy of your tape to PO Box 1556, New York, NY 10013. We’d appreciate a note of permission to use your footage in our documentary (for release next year). Hallelujah! See you in the Starbuckses! questions/comments: michael@revbilly.com 917-825-3562 |
