I have absolutely no experience but hire me anyway. I can delegate everything, and I can be charming in a sinister fashion. Hey, it works for others, mentioning no names. Unlike those others, I’m a cartoon,comic-strip and book nerd so I’d actually know what I was talking about when schmoozing with customers and donors.
Pretty please, I’ll be your best friend and a modest bribe of collectible figures is on the table…
God, I need a life.

That would have been my pitch as well. But you beat me to it! Great minds think alike.
Have an awesome time if you get the job! =)

They need better advertising. I didn’t even know the place existed until they did a Jack Davis exhibit some time ago, and I’ve lived here a long time. Now, I’m a regular. It’s a fantastic place.
