I was reading an article on how to succeed at blarging, and apparently, it is my failure to "get a celebrity" that is holding me back.
I am assuming, at this point, that there is some secret to "getting a celebrity" that is being purposefully hidden from me, because celebrity endorsement is motherfucking elusive. Or more likely, it will take something enticing like... money, or... something of some sort of value to get acknowledged, because offerings of llama drawings have, thus far, been summarily ignored, as have portrait paintings and obnoxious @ messages on twitter.
I'm thinking that I should build some sort of celebrity trap, which makes me sound a bit like a serial killer, but I promise, I don't want to harm them... I would just chain them up for a fortnight and make them tweet links to my hilarious posts at which point I would let them go, if they promised not to press charges.
I just have to work out a) how to get celebrities to come to Montana, and b) what kind of bait I should use.
If you know a celebrity, send them my way...but if you link them to this post, tell them I was joking about the bear trap... and the new car.
The commentary for Coco Llama is finally up. You can go listen by clicking the link below.
And can I tell you how exciting it is to hear Conan O'Brien say my name?
Thank you, to all of you who comment on and share my blarg posts. It means a whole lot to me... more than seems reasonable, actually. For real, it makes my day... which is pretty special because I spend my day doing awesome things all the time.
Someday, when I am super famous and have my own jumbo jet, I'll remember you and let you come look at it, or maybe even take a ride in it if you have racked up enough stalker fan points.
I find one of the most disappointing thing about celebrities on social media is that the majority of them ignore the majority of us. I understand they have other things to do and can't spend all day looking at links people send them of the same baby panda sneezing and scaring its mom. But like, when someone takes their time to paint a picture of a famous person, or for a famous person, I make note of ones who actually respond with thanks and a link to said picture, and I am impressed.
I enjoy getting to know people who like my art and/or writing. If I ever get famous for it, which I plan on doing, damn it, I'd hire a friend to scour the web looking for things made for me by fans so I could give proper credit, if it got too overwhelming to do myself. That way, I can be secure in knowing that there is no one out there making a voodoo doll of me and covering it in syrup because they drew me an awesome llama-narwhal hybrid and I didn't look at it or more so, thank them.
