I just sent an email to Quentin Tarantino's publicist and she says she loves the idea and she'll forward my request to him and I should call her next week. :D

Kick ass! :thumb:

Okay, that is fucking awesome. I hope this works out for you, Radar. If it does, I may just break my "never ever set foot in California" rule.

Cool! You could probably get an official logo sign out of the deal.

She just emailed me back and gave me the name and number of his lawyer and said he wants to ask a few questions. I left a message (It's lunch time). Hopefully I can make this happen. It's seriously a very cool name.

Imagine the cart with this on the front, and on the napkins.

Except with little hotdogs instead of guys.

Every once in a while, you could slip an ear into the bun...

Going for the Margritte look.

Ok, so I failed out of artschool :)

I need to figure out how to draw several hotdogs walking...

Philly news does stories on this when things get slow, although mostly about our world renowned soft pretzel vendors.

Video of the guy sneaking off to a corner with some handy bushes is frequently a part of these pieces. Some of the guys do try to maintain some basic sanitation, mainly by rinsing their hands in the ice they are using to cool down the sodas, if they are also hawking sodas.

I just got an email from Tarantino's lawyer in response to my request to use the name for my hot dog cart.. It reads as follows:

Well, I'm rooting for you on this one. The idea is just too goddamned cool. I remember reading a long time back that he was really a dick regarding I think the Bloodhoung Gang's "Scooby Snacks" song. The sampled bits from Pulp Fiction and I guess he wanted exorbitant royalty on it. I think it would kick all kinds of ass, and I really do hope to see something good come of it for you.

I guess if he doesn't go for it, I can use "Liberty Dogs" and my umbrellas can be American flags, and I can print the world's smallest political quiz on napkins. I can have the Declaration Dog, the Constitution Dog, the Freedom Dog, Liberty Dog, etc.

Hey 51% of America will buy anything if you wrap it up in an American flag.

For the love of (your deity here), don't politicize your business. Politics is bad for business.

That being said, patriotism seems to still be a functional sales ploy. It isn't as strong as it was after 9-11, but it is still doing pretty well, if all those damn magnetic stars and stripes ribbons stuck on people's cars is any indication.
