Get your ducks in row. 4 of them. But they must be live ducks in movie theatre seats.

This was one of those, "I know a guy who knows a guy" type situations. There is a small theatre downtown that is used for both independent movies and business gatherings etc, and I tried to get a hold of the owners, but had no luck. Then I had lunch with an old friend (the fellow who prints my porny stickers for me) and I asked him if he knew anyone who owned a movie theatre.

Luck would have it that he knew the guy in charge of one of the malls, which has an Imax theatre that was shut down. He made the phone call, and voila! I had a connection.

I then went to a different (working) theatre and asked them if I could have some drink cups and popcorn bags. I prefaced it like this:

Me: Hi! I'm doing this scavenger hunt (bla bla bla) and I need to get four live ducks into a movie theatre.
Her: 0_o
Me: But I already have that covered. I just need some drink cups and popcorn bags.
Her: I CAN TOTALLY DO THAT FOR YOU!

:D

BWAAAHAAAA! That girl was probably so relieved that all you wanted was for her to give you cups and bags!

Love the pic!

Love the story. I have been pondering this one ever since [livejournal.com profile] phoenixacid posted about needing live ducks to sit in cinema seats.

Much less than I'd expected really. I had everyone bring spare clothes, just in case, and we didn't need them.

Yes! Always lead with the HARD stuff, then they're happy to help you with the easy ones!
