Subject: Prank phone call contest
In the latest issue of EIGHTBALL (great surreal b&w comic by Daniel
Clowes, published by Fantagraphics -- check it out) there's an
announcement of a prank phone call contest. Here's the description:
--------------------
Long denied its rightful place as one of the great, indigenous
American artforms, the Prank Phone Call appears ready to emerge
triumphantly as a vital form of artistic expression for the
communication era. In order to expedite the inevitable, we (me) here
at EIGHTBALL are proud to announce the OFFICIAL EIGHTBALL(tm) PRANK
PHONE CALL CONTEST! To become a contestant all you need is a tape
recorder, a telephone, and a healthy disrespect for the privacy of
others.
Instructions: Send a tape (or several) (any length but the longer the
better) of your prank phone calls. Be sure to write your name and
address on the tape.
Rules: The best tape (as decided by me) wins.
Deadline: The next 2 or 3 months.
Grand Prize: An original page from EIGHTBALL #2, one deluxe
hand-painted girlie tie, several meaningless trinkets and a gushing
review (and/or transcript) of your tape on this page of the next issue
of EIGHTBALL.
Is this legit or just a stupid gag? : Quite legit, I assure you.
Tip: Sound quality counts! Use a suction-cup phone mike (avail. at
most Radio Shack-type stores.)
Send those tapes to:
EIGHTBALL
Box 3357
Chicago, IL 60654
