Promo Ho

So, I'm waiting for tracks to be mixed and waiting for the covers to be designed so... what do I do with my time? Oh yeah... PROMOTIONS!!
SO I got these bright ideas. I love the whole sticker thing but it's kinda pricey so my cheap ass did the homemade thing. Got label paper and $ store Sharpies and made my own shit, Cheezy yes, but it SHOULD still get my name out right? Then I got gloves wholesale and stenciled my name in with fabric paint, which I'm told looks like white out, but... whatever. Of course NOW it's back to the 40s instead of the 20s so gloves aren't selling like they could, but Winter ain't even here yet so...
Sun night I got the J train last car to first, about 3-5 each car. Had to look out for cops and MTA staff. Some old guy yelled at me "Stop, we don't want any", which was funny cuz I wasn't giving any, but as they say one monkey don't stop the show,,, or whatever.
Hit up the A and D trains today. I was workin at my real life pays the bills job so I couldn't go in like Sun night but I got a couple of cars. Weird thing is this guy was asking me about my name (LMNOP)and what I was promoting and shit like that and instead of using it as an opportunity to promote myself, I was all shy n shit. Sure I answered the questions, but here I am with the space to give my little schpiel and all that good shit and... I didn't. Gotta step my game up. For real! here I am getting intimidated by the other passengers "disapproving looks". I got SOME stickers up but I was real quick to sit my ass down. I gotta grow some hair on my nuts if I'm gonna make it with this shit.
