This is the New/Old News Journal

Rachel, requested that we resurrect a news journal now that the faq is on the front page. I think it is a good idea, and seeing as the radio is useless, I have replaced the radio link on the banner with the news link.

If we are playing the radio ever, we will simply update the radio journal to alert people. So if you are interested look for the radio journal the next time it is in the top ten.

You may notice that the news link is infact the old elmwood journal, just renamed news. I will be opening it shortly to allow all memebers of the site to post to it.

Sidewalk Chalk

We wrote elmwoodstrip.com on the sidewalks again. Some guys asked us if they could borrow chalk along the way. I said sure, so if you see anything other than the words "elmwoodstrip.com" on the sidewalk, it wasn't from us.

Requesting Top Ten Via Email

You may request the last ten journal entries via email. Simply send an email to last10 at elmwoodstrip.com Once again I wrote it that way to avoid spam harvesters. Please sue a normal @ symbol when sending the email.

Make sure to use the subject last10. The body of the email can be blank. In return you will receive a text version of the last ten updates in an email with links to the online versions. This means you can now read the site and still look like you are busy doing work.

Guerilla Advertising

Zack told me that he started running elmwoodstrip.com advertsiements in the closed circuit broadcasts at Sun Capsule and other locations. I would like to declare this the beginning of the upcomming guerilla advertising campaign. I would like to incourage each of you to promote the site locally by designing some sort of advertisment in whatever medium you feel most comfortable with. This could include talking for those of you who do not feel artistically inclined. OR bathroom grafitti at your local bar. I think bathroom grafitti is an excellent way to advertise anything. You can tell becauae the corporates started moving in those advertisement board right over the pisser. Do women have some sort of equivalent bathroom advertising going on?

By moving on to guerilla advertising, we will insure that there is absolutely no consistant look in the advertising and thus attract people from all different interests.

The only thing I ask is that if you do advertise, to please send me an electronic imprint of the advertismment. So lets say you make a giant banner or a statue, simply go ahead and take a picture. Same with bathroom grafitti. If for some reason you can't get a picture, post the location and I will arrange for one.

Then, you can just post the media to your journal. That way in the next couple weeks I can begin a advertisment gallery, where people can see what other e-strippers have come up with.

Maybe there should b a prize? Let's strive for 300 users?
