January 2012. I'm about to launch into another Cabaret Summer School.
On the Sunday night, we meet up at La Boheme once again for the introductory "meet and greet". It's a new group of people - only James and I were in the program last year. Everyone seems energetic and excited.
Matthew challenges us to sell tickets to the show. Who can sell the most seats? There will be a prize for the person with the highest sales.
Previously I've roped in my friends to attend my shows. In the case of the previous year's Kabarett, I actually bought tickets online, and physically presented them to my friends, who paid me direct.
But I don't want to spend this week of Cabaret Summer School telemarketing. I want to focus on learning new cabaret skills.
I decide to utilize social media to publicize the event. I contact a few people to ask them to attend, but in the main I do it with blog posts. Each day I write and publish a blog each day, and I also make a video blog.
By the end of the week, I'm the second-highest ticket seller - not bad, when I haven't done the usual ring-around.
Here's the link to my first video blog of the week: "The Story So Far":
