Buy Nothing Day
admin | November 24, 2006I headed over to Bourke St Mall this morning to check out Buy Nothing Day. It was a bit of a non-event. Two people handing out fliers at a table and a bunch of bored passers-by throwing them into the bin.
I did spot Cam though. He’s quick for an old bloke. I spotted him on my way back from Dick Smith (researching not buying) chatting to the people at the Buy Nothing Day table and was heading over to say hi. Turned my head away for a second and he’d buggered off! Couldn’t see him anywhere. Strange, strange man!
So other than an excuse for not unpacking boxes at home it was pretty much a waste of time. Nothing exciting happening at all! Except that apparently the Myers Christmas window display is already up. Something to do with wombats… Christmas wombats…
One thing I’m trying to figure out is why Cam hasn’t made mention of the G’day World birthday bash yet. Its like a week away… Some people actually need notice of these things… Also booking a table would be advisable given there’s probably a reasonable number of us attending.
Anyways I guess I’ll go back to unpacking boxes… Fun fun!
Btw Cam looks somewhat less sophistimicated in a black tshirt and baggy jeans rather than a suit.

Its such a shame it fell on a friday i ended up buying a 6 pack, but i didnt buy anything for the earlier part of the week surely that counts for something……… right?
Its not really a true campaign right? But who is it Viral marketing for? I can’t work it out.
My favorite from Cams video was after saying we get to much crap we don’t need, when asked what they were going to do for the rest of the year he said make up stickers! Hmmmm…. Stickers, one of the stapples of life!
