"There is no such thing as a Free Lunch...unless I do it" What's it all about... I asked the Performer. "I am part of a group called Bristol Performing Artists. We have a series of things going on here, including the Storehouse. Is any advertising FREE? Magazines, television, advertising sell space; sell time...which is a strange notion anyway! The idea is that people look at how much little squares cost in The Guardian, and TV...on various channels. What I am offering here is that people can write (on these pieces of paper 40 cm x 40 cm) anything they like; ideas dreams whatever, that would cost approx £15,000 in The Guardian, £22,000 in The Times...were they to make that statement in that medium. I then wear there 'advert' for 15 mins FREE, of my time, around the fair which is the equivelant of about £300,000 of TV time or £3000 on local Radio. The reaction today has been very very good, most people can't believe how much this sort of thing costs! The comments that have been made are just great; it is hard however to get people to actually write something! |
