WEEKLY MISSION GET!

So this week, in our Inaugural Week, I think we need a mission which properly conveys our dignity and gravitas.

Thusly, Little Pawns, I charge ye:

1.) Locate a contact at your radio station. Twitter, facebook, or station email, whatever.

2.) Send them this link. http://www.mtv.com/videos/news/588320/kris-allen-sleepwalked-naked....

3.) Include an amusing tagline to get them to click. Something like. "Haha! Have you seen this? American Idol Kris Allen tells a story about wandering around a hotel in the nude. He locked himself out of his room while sleepwalking! Thought your listeners would LOL as much as I did!"

4.) Then ask them to play a kris song. "Since I'm all in the mood for Kris now, could you play Live Like We're Dying or even his new single "Alright With Me?"

And report back here. If his naked exploits make any radio station websites (they feature links sometimes) we'll know we've done our job. If it gets mentioned on air, even better. If they actually play his music? I'll pat you on the head.

Please do let us know which radio stations you submitted to. We can have more than one person send to a radio station but if you do that please change up the wording. I mean, change it up anyway to make it your own but ykwim.

Okay, e-mailed both KYKY and KSLZ in St. Louis. :)

OK - I tweeted the link & a request for AWM to Toby Knapp (@tkradio) on Hot 99.5 in DC (WIHT). He likes Kris and maintains an Idol blog. Although I'm not sure I succeeded in funny tag line, it's early this AM. XXX your fingers!

Just letting you know I just used the contact form on Ryan Seacrest's website to e-mail him/them about our little naked sleepwalker. I selected "Shows and Pitches" on the drop down menu. I told them MTV just interviewed Kris this week, and he revealed a humiliating story from Summer Tour in which he was exposed/butt naked or something. I gave the video link, the write-up link, and at the end tagged on that Entertainment Weekly had also interviewed him too to promote AWM and that the interviewer left the camera running when Kris played reggae NoBo. I didn't make a request because KIIS FM in LA does not or have not spun any of his music so far. The only time I think they played it is when Ryan interviewed him when LLWD was releasing.

Anyway, if anyone is listening to Ryan this morning (though probably too early for them to catch the e-mail & I'm sure they get a lot of e-mails) or the next few mornings, let me or all of us know if he had mentioned it. The good thing about somehow reaching Ryan is he his a zillion media jobs, so if he ever ends up watching it - he could mention it anytime in any of those outlets he's involved in. He may not, or even ever get the message (from whoever checks those e-mails) - but here's hoping.

Awesome guys! I send the story to two of the wmyx jocks so hopefully they'll pick it up. Another good place would be the hollywood 411 for sirius hits 1. I should look at that!

I've emailed WQEN and I had already tweeted Star 94.1 in ATL about the story, I think they have some connection to the ATL tour stop. Since B'ham has no HAC stations, I'm off to find the closest ones to me.

Got a tweet back from ATL DJ, saying LOL he had heard the story :)

Sorry Elle, I don't have a place to post this. But I'll just quickly mention it here since it's sleepwalker related? I was thinking maybe we should start a thread or something where we feel an article is in dire need of good feedback.

Can any of you leave positive comments here on the naked sleepwalking thing. http://exm.nr/dwrGgi This guy had a history of catering to Adam fans (which spark a lot of fan-war-ish comments between both fandoms - which I'm sure he likes cuz it means a lot of people are reading his article), but I think he has relaxed that now. What he wrote about Kris and "Alright With Me" was so complimentary, it's as if he likes him now (http://exm.nr/99mHOI). Now he wrote how Kris's tour story was the most hilarious tour story he has heard of as of late. Any press is good press, even if it's not like Entertainment Weekly or MTV :)

FYI, Mix 104.1 FM blogged about the sleepwalking. Though I don't think or know if someone contacted them, because this station is usually pretty good at blogging on Kris stuff every once in awhile (at least compared to other stations) if I remember correctly. Anyhoo: http://bit.ly/d4CwIx

I submiited to a segment called "Here's What I Think" on Q92.9 in Pittsburgh, PA. Here's what I put. Hope it sounds ok...

The first time I saw this I was laughing SO hard! It's like, the funniest thing ever! I think people in Pittsburgh and all around Western PA would get a great laugh out of this! Then to get everyone familiar with his awesome music, could you please play his brand new catchy fun single "Alright With Me"? Thanks so much!

I contacted y100, xl 106.7 & mix 105.1 (orlando & Miami, fl stations) via twitter & sent them the story! :)

Hopefully they mention it somehow!

Great Job everyone who has done this so far! Remember to follow up with your stations, check their playlists, and see if our sneeky marketing had any effect!
