"Is fate tied to a pizzeria in Wisconsin?"That's the fortune in the cookie your character just broke open. It's confirmed the nagging feeling they have and they're off to Wisconsin to find that pizzeria.
Will fate lead them there? Maybe they should check in with another fortune cookie once they get to Wisconsin ;-)
What will they find? True love? The fate of the universe? Something less cliche?
(Can you work this into your NaNo? If it's too left-turnish for your main character, you could send off an annoying character on a quest. Or someone walks in with the fortune looking for their fate. A character could leave it on the table then the server finds it and gets wildly excited. Possibilities limited only by imagination :-)
(This is from an ad for Lucky Brand jeans and Wisconsin musician Cory Chisel. The back story is a bit more mundane than the quote but still interesting. It's in the comments if you want to read it when you're done.)
This billboard is showing up in L.A., New York and Chicago, part of a new advertising campaign by Lucky Jeans that spotlights up-and-coming artists. Cory Chisel was selected as one of the "Lucky Few" and now has the ability to appear across the country simultaneously. He's not only showing up on the sides of buildings and bus stops, but also in magazines like Vanity Fair and Rolling Stone.
ReplyDeleteAnd you may ask yourself: "What do you mean, 'pizzeria in Wisconsin?'" If you know anything about Chisel's band, The Wandering Sons, you know that refers to Cranky Pat's, the Neenah pizza joint that's the group's home away from home. You can listen to Chisel explain the Cranky's connection in a video on the Lucky Jeans Web site.
He mentions in the video that he needs to play at Cranky's on a regular basis in order to keep the gods of fate happy and, true to his word, Chisel and the Wandering Sons will return for a gig on Oct. 2. Seven bucks gets you in.
