So tomorrow I have an event that if I'm lucky will get 45 people to show up. Without going into to much detail, I'll just say that figure is not very good. Ideally, I'd want twice that. At one point, I had 80 RSVPs, which is still not great but would've been acceptable. Now it's down to 60 and that means that if I'm lucky, only 15 will be no shows.
Admittedly, this event is not exactly featuring someone who has bettered mankind, the human race, or even our culture. It's just made a lot of money making entertainment. Lots of people do that. Unfortunately this person was stuck with the burden of supposedly needing to uplift people, rather than just make money.
I am tempted to hire extras to fill the seats. I need 30 people, ranging in age from 30 to 60 in business attire. It's very tempting. Probably wouldn't cost that much and would work.
But instead I'm hoping that the folks I work for will see the piss-poor turnout and decide we need to rethink what we're doing.
That said, I do want to start a company that sends out extras for both personal and corporate events. Want to show diversity at a corporate event or even your wedding, we'll take care of it. Need some gays to show potential dates you're an open-minded cool guy, we'll handle your needs.
Now don't go stealing this.

Awesome idea, Ramblah. Its so Hollywood. Kinda like an escort service. Call it "Crowd Control".
Hire a bunch of aspiring models (no shortage of them)on a per diem basis. I love it, and it is so necessary! Fits media events like a glove.
Guess what? Sorry to bring more bad news but the ice storm that has ravaged middle America is slated to hit us tomorrow.
I don't intend to head in for our Christmas (oops...HOLIDAY) party.
Its not really my scene anyway, except for the White Elephant part in the office; which is followed by the annual major drunk-fest at a dark and usually decadent downtown bar. This year it's at Madam X in the West Village.
A little bondage for the Holidays?
NOT SO MUCH (I hate that term now...way over used)
Good luck with the event...and the "business models".
hire a couple of average joes and fat ladies too so nobody gets suspicious.
we didn't get too much in the way of ice down here, a lot of rain.
