Looking for trade show booth parts

[Random Hero]

I got dragged into building a trade show booth for one of the companies I work for. Anybody know where I can get parts? I wanna turn this thing into frankenbooth! Really, I'm looking for mainly lighting and podium components. Perhaps some stools, but I'm on a TIGHT budget.

[redViper]

i say a cat. it can be the mascot. and maybe a tin can.. collect donations?
do those fit in your budget?

[redViper]

DAMN. That's good thinking Phil! And then he can go steal girls from other booths, stick them in binkin's and tell them to walk around holding a sign. and if they dont, crack out the whip. *whichaaaa* :P

And we can always put lighting on them too. you know?

paper mache for the podium,

and how about dead frozen homeless people, in the shape of chairs for the stools...? does that werk..?

lol
pj :P



hahaha thats to funny. what happens when the frozen people unfreeze?:P

[redViper]

oh, wise thinking phil.
and we can call up that frog, with the top hat.. and he can do a song and dance. we will pay him.. meh.. probably 20 dollars? but not including life insurance. cause the cat will probably eat him.

[redViper]

oh yea.. we could use him. does he sing and dance though, that's the million dollar question.
Cause we cant just have a gecko standing there, you know? he's gotta do something. I think he could fondle the female customers, what do you think?


----------------

on a side note, we have just destroyed random hero's post. we're sorry about that. forgive us. :)

[Random Hero]

Man, this is the last time I put something in the "Random" category...although the stealing other tradeshow women idea peaks my intrest...heheheh

[Alex]

lol:beam:

[redViper]

nice. cat and gecko. we could go into business. open our own freakshow. score!

next item of business:
How do we pay for all of it? I think there is only about 5$ budget.. since he didnt say.. so.. how about blatent product advertising? like in movies.. it will probably deter from our business, thus asking why are we here, but we wont go into that. I say we have the target symbol everywhere. And maybe they can donate target sunglasses?

[redViper]

NO
We arent selling the cat! If we do, there goes our hook. Then what do we have? A freaking gecko. What the hell is a gecko gonna do without a cat? If he cant sing or dance.

THINK OF THE CONSEQUENCES PHIL.

[Random Hero]

budget is $500. Spending $360 on new vinyl for the booth (made new graphics with the current logo on them), and have $108 spent on the kickin' sound system...actually, I bought my buddy's iPaq, rigged it with flash player, and created a jukebox full of razzer sounds to freak people out as they walk by the booth.

So, our budget is $32. Pretty sad. The corpses are starting to look like a viable option.

[redViper]

sure, we can sell one of the girls. i'm thinking the one with the slanted eyes. She can't even walk straight, let alone hold a sign.
I will inform her of her termination. We'll miss ya kid.

[Random Hero]

I can never sell the women! I'm not that good, and I can't afford to hire a pimp!

[redViper]

Too bad. We've spoken. We're running this "trade booth" now.

[Alex]

buy a pimp costume:hat: :trout:

[Random Hero]

I've never known a pimp that dressed for less than a grand, let alone $32.

[Alex]

here's the plan.

walk around town
if you see a pimp hit him over the head with his cane. then steal his cloths. i know its a long shot,:trout: :beam:

[Random Hero]

Got a friend that works at a carbonic plant. He could hook us up.

[Random Hero]

I think I'll throw a party when I get 626 posts. A "I have no life" party.

[Alex]

i have thrown thoes parties every 300 posts. i think:beam:

[redViper]

lol. i wasnt talking about asians, honest. i meant cross eyed.. i guess it came out the wrong way.. oops :P

ok, so the cat has bling bling, what about the gecko? should we paint gold on one of his teeth? or should we call up puff daddy and get his advice?

and random,
you could be ghetto pimp. who needs thousands of dollars, when you've got a gold chain from wal-mart and a hat spray painted purple?

[Random Hero]

But, my brutha, we ain't even got da roll to gesta us da hat!

*working on my pimp accent*

[Alex]

you forgot about the cane.=)

[Random Hero]

DON'T YOU GO MAKIN ME SLAP YOU WOMAN! NOW WHERE'S MY MONEY!

oops...where'd that come from...sheesh...

I clearly see this thread being shut down by the end of the day...


Don't you people have jobs? :D

[redViper]

for the cane.. uh.. let see. you have a table dont you? break a leg off that, put your dog in place, and use the leg as your cane.

and if you wanna talk like a pimp, you have to add izzle onto everything.
iizzle getizzle myselfizzle offizzle onizzle catizzle.


see?

[Alex]

i do. i am a full time couch potato. j/k im on vacation from school:beam:

[Random Hero]

yo, you mean he wouldn't shizzle my frizzle?

that better?

[redViper]

[redViper]

[Random Hero]

[redViper]

and i stabbed you with a steak.. not a steak knife. that way, less to clean up. :D

[redViper]

:P

[Random Hero]

If I hadn't spent all that time drawing Stitch, I probably would. It's tempting, very tempting. But then, I'd have to change my name to the Purple Pimp.

[redViper]

and tell me why that would be bad?

you can be the purple PIMPle eater.

[Random Hero]

twenty more posts and this will have greater response than the nation poll sticky, and would have advanced no ones knowledge...not one last bit, other than we've managed to create the most grotesque trade show booth known to man.

[redViper]

[Random Hero]

I was so caught up in dynamics last night that I really just didn't go asleep. And, how could I miss work, with this booth to build and all? I know a guy who can make the pimp cutout out of foam.

[redViper]

i dunno
i looked up pimp on google, and he showed up. (-:

[Random Hero]

Does Kirupa really read all of the forums?

[redViper]
