Announcing Shot of Jaq Publicity Stunt Bingo!

Jono & Aq were trying to come up with way of publicising SOJ to a wider audience. After kicking it around on IRC for a while, it became obvious that the publicity needed to reflect the most important aspects of SOJ itself.

  • It must be a community driven effort.
  • The initial idea starts with Shot of Jaq, then the community run with it and make it theirs.
  • Participation makes it fun.

So what we've done is kicked off a plan for a game or a challenge for Shot of Jaq listeners.

The Stunts

Down below, there is a grid of 100 squares. Each square represents a challenge to SOJ listeners to perform a SOJ publicity stunt. Pick one, do it and skip to the bottom of the page for information on how to share your story of how you did the stunt!

All completed stunts are shown with a:

Shot Glass
