Valentine's Day plans
Hopefully Movebale Type will actually let us publish this post, unlike our last attempt at discussing Banana Florist's plans for Valentine's Day.
So, to celebrate the upcoming holiday -- an obvious boom time for florists -- we're thinking of visiting a few Atlanta banks that were robbed last year. We'll present our selection of roses as a gift for all the tellers. Inside the banana box, we'll include a note that reads, "We're Banana Florist, a brand-new, Atlanta-exclusive flower shop. We named this selection of red roses "The Heist" in honor of Atlanta's recent coronation as the bank-robbery capital of America. We hope you enjoy these beautiful flowers, and that the only thing that gets stolen this year is your heart."
Now, some problems. In order to maximize exposure of our visits, we need to shoot (with film, that is) our visits to the banks. Something tells us that bank managers don't warmly welcome recording devices, what with the whole idea of "casing." Secondly, in order to have something to film, we'll need to speak to the tellers or managers, introduce ourselves and the Heist. Again, we've got an inkling that talk of "robbery" and "heist" go over in banks about as well as "bomb" and "terrorist" go over in airports.
Any bank professionals in the house to offer suggestions?
