I love knowing how to manipulate PR people
I'm supposed to interview the opening act for the Rilo Kiley concert tonight. In doing this, I am promised free tickets to said concert. So, last week, I e-mail the lead singer some questions.
And then nothing happens.
So I write their manager back and say "hey, what about those tickets?" And she says "did you write an article about the band?" in a very "we'll only give you tickets if you wrote a positive review"-way. To which I reply "I was supposed to be writing about the concert and the band in one article, so if I don't go to this show there's no article."
Magically they decided to give me tickets an hour ago - only, I figured I wouldn't get any, so instead of doing my homework I spent two hours bumming around and watching Weeds.
It's cool. Now I've got to jet like a bunny to get everything done in an hour and a half.
