Greetings from Carrboro, 

They emailed to see if it was cool. And I completely understood. Because everybody knows that overtly piggybacking on someone else’s success creates bad juju. That’s business 101. But synergy is synergy. So, I acquiesced. Sunday night would be fine. And we even took it a step further and decided to cross-promote with them. Call me foolish. But they’re only in their 7^th year and putting the Tomato Festival’s ample shoulder behind them to give a little boost just felt like the right thing to do. Business isn’t always backstabbing.

So, to that end, Acme is putting on a couple of promotional dinners next week. Wednesday and Thursday, the 12^th and 13^th. They’re for this little TV show called Game of Thrones. Ring a bell? Dragons and bloodletting and a really big wall? Well, we can try to explain it all at the dinner. The show is hoping that the vast momentum of the Tomato Festival will catapult Game of Thrones to a similar kinetic popularity when it airs on Sunday night, the 16^th. They’ll just have to wait and see. We warned them to not expect miracles.

The Acme Game of Thrones Dinners. Costumes encouraged. Duh. Seats for each of the dinners is very limited. Cost for the dinner is $55 per person. Menu is below. We will get started at 8pm each evening. Reservations are required by phone (919 929 2263). Please check all swords at the host station. Boot knives, however, are OK.

Come on, Carrboro. Let’s help these guys out. It’ll be fun.

Well, that’s all the news from Carrboro. The staff at Acme look forward to serving you soon.

Cheers,
The Staff at Acme
