ORACLENERD: Pearl Jam + Oracle OpenWorld

Pearl Jam + Oracle OpenWorld

Tuesday, August 14, 2012

So, it was announced today that Pearl Jam would be playing at Oracle OpenWorld's appreciation event today. You can read the news here.

For about 6 months now I've been thinking how cool it would be to get someone from the band to wear an oraclenerd shirt. Originally I had approached staff at Oracle about somehow getting in touch with the band, but that wasn't to be. "Think, McFly, think." Umm, Twitter anyone? How about a campaign on twitter? Yeah, that'll do it.

hey @pearljam - do you think I can talk one of you into wearing one of these t-shirts at #oow12? lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Swnem86AcYc/T…

Did I mention that all of this helps pay for katezilla? Yeah, it does. Let Eddie know!

Help me out here. Let's see if we can make this happen.

Great idea. However, I think I'm going to create a splinter initiative and see if they'll wear a new (ā'pěks) shirt!

This was a classic way to get eyeballs. More details.

I don't remember that one specifically but, likely, I've seen that kind of thing before.

I didn't really think of it (originally anyway) as a marketing/ad gimmick (i.e. sell more shirts), I just thought it would be cool to have someone, in one of the bands, wear one. Or I might just be FOS. I can't remember.
