The Story So Far...

Episode 5 Part 1:

When New York Came To Australia

The trade was on.

The mysterious Cath (my girlfriend actually) had arrived to make the trade. From the boot of her car came a mysterious box.

We made the trade.

A book 'Our [title of show] Tour To New York' and details about a shop promotion '3 Weeks In New York'

Jarrod arrived and we wondered what it would be like if [title of show] came to Australia through the song 'Two Nobodies From New York".

Background to the song:

I had written the lyrics to this song AGES ago and planned on filming it for [title of show]'s opening night, I'd told Jeff about it, and he was really excited to see it. So I thought this would be the PERFECT time to do it!

And sure enough it really worked...

We would go to New York in Melbourne on Saturday and film part 2 of the Episode there.

The Story So Far...

Episode 4:

Recognition

I remembered from some time ago a guy that traded a red paperclip for a house- well if he could do it so could I! So upon finding a paper clip I decided to up trade for a trip to New York, accommodation and tickets to [title of show]...or anything else that would progressively get me there.

Before I did that though I decided to whip out a musical ode to all the fans I'd found on Broadway World and all the other viewers. The song was a parody of 'Tradition' from Fiddler On The Roof renamed 'Recognition'. It was a surprise hit and my lyric changing skills were getting better.

I decided if I was rich I could easily see [title of show] no problem, oh dear...did I just say if I were a Rich Man?

Gambling proved to not get me any money as I lost out on $7 worth of Scratchies. Jeff gave me the good advice of steering clear of them in the future.

...winning $96,000 would be good though.

At the end of the episode I received a message on MSN, someone was up for a trade for my paperclip.

What would I get for the trade?

I also started to note that this whole thing was just growing bigger than I ever imagined. [title of show] had commented that they were obsessed with the show, and people were talking about it on other websites, I was getting more hits from Broadway World than from the MySpace where I normally picked up all my views from. Plus the majority of views were coming in on the first day! It was NUTS!
