BAMbill

This evening I attended Songs of Ascension at BAM. Going through the BAMbill, I noticed how different the messages were from the BAM supporters who had a one-page ad. Most were self serving but some were actually pretty good. Here are a few examples with my grading:

Continental Airlines: D-
Get a meal, not a song and dance.
Still serving free meals at mealtime.
The competition has nothing to show but cutbacks. That's not the case with Continental. We're still providing you with free meals at mealtime. For us, it's all about giving you good service, not dancing around it. For reservations and information go to..."

A proud supporter of the Brooklyn Academy of Music.

Bank of America: B-
"Performing does more than entertain - it enriches us all.
Those who march to a different drummer share our passion for creativity and out-of-the-box thinking. That's why Bank of America is proud to sponsor BAM and be the presenting sponsor of The Bridge Project."
