So you want to get a date but don't know how to go about meeting new people? Do what I did and get yourself a page spread in the Velocity Weekly.
First clarification- Velocity is a free weekly newspaper distributed around the Kentuckiana area. For those of you in class reading this if you ever want to check the paper out there is a stand out in front of the clock tower next to the bus stop station.
Anyway so a friend of mine in one of my classes is a writer for the Velocity. He walks up to me about a week or so before Valentine's Day and said, "Hey, you are single right?" I reply with a yes. He says, "Want to be in the Velocity?" I reply with a "Well hell yea!" I also let him know that I have been in the Velocity before a few times but only in the Party Crasher section. That is a section where some of their photographers go around town for various reasons and take pictures of people out partying or hanging out or what not.
So he gave me the low down what the article was going to be about and sent me on my way. They were spotlighting six people who were single on Valentine's Day this year and letting them talk about themselves and what not.
The most fun part was going to Proof on Main in Downtown Louisville and have a mini photoshoot. A girl must say having all the attention on her for a solid thirty minutes while the restaurant workers all stand around staring at you is pretty exciting.
Tomorrow a new Velocity will come out and my 15 minutes of fame will be over...but it has been an awesome time this week reading responses from random people in Louisville and having my friends all say how shocked they were when they opened the first page and saw me smiling back at them.
My advice to all: get yourself 15 minutes of fame...it is a definite self esteem booster :)!
aw, that's so cool. I use to read velocity all the time at my old job. it really is a great way to get yourself noticed!!!! :D
