For the record, Eulogy is the one decent music store in my town. It specializes in non-mainstream music, mostly alternative and metal, etc. Yep, they supply all my fave music. AND t-shirts. >:D
Also, the guy who owns it is a pretty decent man. Used to be in an alternative techno (I think?) band, pretty nice guy.
Anyway.
There is a listening booth in Eulogy, with two glass walls leading straight out into the street, with curtains. So you can either tie up the curtains and watch the world go by, or close them for privacy.
Well, it started off with going into Eulogy with my ABC gang (Me, Aliway, Bonnie, and Cassie - ABC xD) stopping into Eulogy to browse as we so often do. Then we found a random CD with a cover Bonnie liked, so we took it down to the booth to have a listen (Bonnie ended up liking it too, some weird techno-dance music, not half bad) and.. things just took off from there. xD
While listening, we decided to start waving at passers-by, and either clapping for them when they waved back, or groaning when they ignored us.
Then the owner who was working the till suggested we hold up signs. He gave us a marker and paper, and even suggested what to put on the sign (We eventually went with "I'm made of wax - what are you made out of??" and "Is you name Larry??!")
With our new signs, we went straight to madness... >:D
Well, it was entertaining. The first guy who walked in, we got all excited because we thought we'd actually convinced him to come into the store!! And.. it turned out to be the owner's dad. xD
The second time, it turned out to be a friend of his.
Then FINALLY, a group of bewildered uni students came in, exclaiming "We weren't gonna go in, but we saw the signs..!"
We considered this an achievement.
Also, one kid who walked by us gave us his number. AND we found a Larry. xDDD
And for the record, I did submit it to MLIA. S'all good =3
---EDIT-----
Oh, I submitted it to MLIA alright. AND IT GOT FUCKIN' PUBLISHED ALRIGHT. 8D PUBLISHED!!! MY LIFE IS OFFICIALLY COMPLETE. I aspire to great things, and my, I love it when I achieve these goals. One of them being to get a MLIA story published. AND WE DID.
Behold: http://mylifeisaverage.com/story/1758395

Okay rant over.
---EDIT-----
I must say, it was a Saturday well spent. Who knows, maybe this weekend we may get up to the same madness, lol.
