What ( well part of) what we said:
"Maybe you’ve heard of This American Life? http://www.thisamericanlife.org/
Or the Moth in NYC? http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/16/fashion/16moth.html
The Bitter End, one of the hosts of The Moth draws sellout crowds week after week… people of all ages and walks of life wait in line to tell their story –even though only 10 will be chosen at random – they come by the 100s to tell each other their stories. They pay $7 cover and buy a 2-drink minimum to listen to 5-minute stories… They fill the club at 7PM & are out by 10PM at the latest. The Bitter End has headliners come in for a second show.
massmouth is a group of Massachusetts’s professional and amateur storytellers looking for an indoor venue for our popular monthly "mouthoffs". The Moth in NYC currently has sell out crowds for story slams and we think we use the “slam” event format and massmouth can build to lines around the block, waiting for stories too.
We would like to propose that one Monday a month massmouth will host a mouthoff /story slam in your establishment. We have portable sound, experienced emcees, networks for promotion and you have the place. This being Boston – we could open the doors at 6PM and we could start 7 sharp. We can work out the door/gate/ money issues in a way that works for us, for you and your customer’s comfort.
A story slam is a contest and great entertainment. It can build clientele for you and builds audience for oral tradition and stories for us. We have been performing all year, but are looking for an inside venue and partnership starting in late OCTOBER. We can pass the hat and/ or charge admission, and/or a 2-drink minimum (the Bitter End in NYC does admission and 2 drinks for their Moth events ) and we would post stories that we record on YouTube and throughout our social networks like myspace,Facebook and ning. Great free viral advertising , business on a MON or TUE can be slow.
massmouth story, and your establishment have a natural affinity that will be especially potent for marketing and PR and win/win situation for all.
