Spread the word...and show others & yourself how influential Balto can be, by going to the streets and being active.

This was planed to be a blowing alley, but I played a whole game four times and didn't have time before or after to hang it there. But luck came in the form of a Ice Cream parlor, and I think more people would see it there anyway

This is done on a sidewalk that leads to a performing arts theater. The arrow is pointing to where "BALTO" is marked.

To be honest...I'm really not gonna go around town asking random people to watch an animated movie..
Balto is an amazing film and the history deserves to be remembered but I don't think I'll be going to the point of approaching random people about it or risk getting in trouble for littering or vandalism. (Yeah, that's what would more than likely happen in this country should I get caught sticking up random posters.)

If you and others are going to then good luck and I hope you manage to get somewhere with it and enjoy BaltoStock buuut I guess I'm not -that- much of a "hard core fan".


(Plus, it is getting annoying seeing so many topics... >> )

Well, you don't just have to hang posters. You can try to submit a Balto Story to your school news paper (if they do let you submit your own storys that is), You can give copys of the movie to others, or just wright the word BALTO on the sidewalk with chalk.

That's a little overkill don'tcha think?

I've left school so that's kinda out and our local newspaper doesn't print just stories (plus, I'm not much of a writer).
Lol, I'm simply too broke to be able to afford to buy DVDs to give to people.
In this country, I'd be told to wipe it off and be fined for graffiti. (Yes, we suck.) Unless I did it during Carnival week when anyone and everyone is allowed to do that.

The only way I could really do anything would be to talk the Carnival Club into doing a float about Balto for the Carnival or doing art and then mentioning Balto as part of my inspiration when asked.

I couldn't walk up to people in the street though, I had enough of a problem with that when I had to go asking for people to sign a petition to make it illegal for children to ride bicycles without wearing a helmet (during brain awareness week).

Are you for serious?

Jail? No.
The MOST you'd get would be a fine for vandalism (or graffiti if they fine for that in the USA) but a minor would more than likely just get told to take it down and not do it again.
There's nothing to prosecute over for just handing out a DVD. It's not copyright infringement and so long as you don't charge money for it, seeing as you're not working in a shop or licensed to or whatever, there's no risk of jail.

That's just plain absurd.

@dpstq: I know ya mean well when ya posted this topic but lets be realistic with a little quiz I have for ya: Which is more likely to happen if ya do what ya want us to do

A. People thank ya and help spread the word
B. People get incredibly annoyed
C. Ya get ignored
D. Ya get in trouble
E. Or choices B,C,D.

Bottom line, the idea ya are proposing sounds very radical and extreme to me and it's not guaranteed to work. Also, ya have like three or four topics about spreading the word and I don't know why ya need more than one.

I wish ya the best of luck with your plan but I myself will not be participating in it.

I agree to some points with Metal Head For Christ, but I cant beleive that dptsq actually went out and put up sign's and wrote on a sidewalk.......sorry that's just my opinion, I'm not trying to be a pest or a put-down or anything....bleh *leaves this topic forever*
