OK, publicists in the Hell’s Kitchen/Upper West Side/Midtown area… If the NYC Transit strike happens, I’m offering up the Geek Factory and AirTroductions offices as a place to work. I’ve got WiFi, food, and two psychotic cats who will gladly walk across your keyboards whenever you need them to. We can fit at least 10 people in here, probably more. So if you can’t get downtown to your agency du jour, and if your company assigned limo is stuck in traffic, come on by. Bring coffee, stay all day. Just email me and I’ll hook you up with the details. The Geek Factory… Your own personal Starbucks.

Brilliant PR stunt – Gawker tells this story of a person who has a Grande Latte cup from Starbucks glued to the roof of their car. When people come running up to say "HEY LADY, YOU LEFT YOUR COFFEE CUP ON YOUR ROOF!" she goes, "I know. Happy holidays from Starbucks." Brilliant. I REALLY wish I’d come up with that.

Ah, Brandon of Weber Shandwick… Please write on the blackboard 100 times: I’ll never send out a press release without confirming my media list first.
