Bras For The Cause
We are now days away from segging out of October and Breast Cancer is pretty much the charity that crosses all formats. To miss Breast Cancer Month would be inexplicable.
My favorite line ever was from a CHR PD who scoffed and said "My listeners don't care. (Bad word). You don't even need to start getting mammograms until you're like 40." I asked if his audience were spores and thus didn't have sisters or aunts or mothers, and was fired no too shortly there-after.
Last year C-95 in Saskatoon sent male models out to bars with giant bras to take cash donations from the people as they worked the room under the name "Bras For The Cause". Could also be "Fill 'Em Up" or "Cup Capping".
Radio Thongs
Chris Myers from said C95 was just typing up "radio thon" and accidentally added a "g". He now has his next charity drive: male strippers in thongs crashing bars and getting donations stuffed in their junk.
The Night Before Thanksgiving Club Gig
The Wednesday night before Thanksgiving is traditionally a BIG night for clubs. Kids home from college. No work the next day. It ends in "day". (We all need our excuses to drink. Lighten up.)
One of the stations was looking for a theme. Understand that many of the people who would WANT to be going out will be committed to sitting around the living room getting caught up with rellies.
What if, on your website, you had a section to sign up for your Escape Call/Text. You log on, pick a time and a number to call/text them.
So, at 8:15 pm, after hearing about Aunt Dotties childhood on the farm near Bloomington, Illinois, my cell phone rings. I answer, make the approriate number of "Uh huh's", "yes's", "when's?" and "for how longs?" and hang up.
I then turn to the 300 relatives crammed into the family room at my in-laws and say "Darn. Jerry has a problem. I need to get home and re-send something to the manager in Hawaii or I'm going to have take offALL tomorrow and rewrite their imaging. Something happened with their computer system." I make the appropriate number of sad goodbyes, tell everyone I'll see them tomorrow and flee to Club Cancun where Lucas from KDWB will be doing free drink specialsfor 18 year-old girls with bad self-esteem and daddy issues.
The other option is to ENCOURAGE the listeners to bring the cousins they're supposed to be entertaining with games of Risk, popcorn and re-runs on TBS.
Do "Night Out With The Living Cousins". Bring someone with an out-of-state ID and they get in for free. Do a Cousins Dating Game where my cousin from Oregon is up on stage getting blindly set up with some other local's out-of-town cousin. I mean, it's not like they're ever going to see each other again.
