Michael Moore update

The caller ID said private. Normally I wouldn't answer such a call. I threw caution to the wind and picked it up. A young man identified himself and said that he was calling from Michael Moore's office. A few days earlier I'd left a nervous voicemail on a number I'd been given over a year ago at Michael's production company, Dog Eat Dog Films.

I'd met Michael last Valentine's Day in the lobby of Comedy Central. We were both in the VIP line to see a taping of the Daily Show. I'd posted a long account of it here sometime back. He loved Progresswear's line and laughed out loud at several of our themes. I've been trying to find a way to get him some shirts ever since that day, though obviously not too diligently. To simply send some product to a celebrity without ensuring that it actually gets in their hands is a wasted gesture. Ensuring that they will receive it is no easy task.

We have an address now and I've promised shirts to the crew, but I need Michael's size before I can get a special batch printed just for him. Hopefully the schwag will spur them on. With Sicko being in theaters right this moment and Michael embarking on a lengthy tour promoting the film this would be a great time to increase the odds of him showing up on TV wearing one of our shirts. And in this t-shirt game, a simple appearance like that could change everything.
