The first Art Fabian Like-a-Thon was not a popular success but there was enough interest to inspire us to create a second one.  Because we have a lot of friends in the medical profession as well as in sensitive sectors of the not-for-profit we know that there are a fair amount of people following the event anonymously.  That's why we will continue to invite the public to it.   However the game still remains to get as much publicity as possible for our Art Collections and in thsi way make the Collection a money-making proposition.  Right now it is a hobby.  SO interspersed with he different cultural articles of the first event it was just natural to keep on putting out some text urging people to join or like the page  Patita Patata, we are happy our friends now about us even if they are anonymous but obviously we benefit more from obvious participation.  So I  am going to include some of the prompts I came up from the first event.  Just for reference and to see where I was comin

Thanks for the birthday wishes you have already wished me happy birthday. Here is another famous image from the Art-as-a-Present Collection. A word or note. Although they look like regular magazine pictures they are actually not always that. Sometimes I went all over the city looking for European magazines. I saw a lot of Australian ones actually. But I was mostly interested in England and France. It is the final day of the LIkea-thon and MY actual birthday. If you have sent me birthday wishes please say hi and join the event. DOn't just click interessed. You have to join. Because you are my friend. Because you wished me Happy Birthday.

And what am I going to do today? I am glad you asked. First thing I am going to have breakfast at the wonderfully designed new restaurant down the street. I dare not tell you the name because I want to have a place. If I told you well then you might be one of the multitude of fans that take the tables instead of me. So, in to the shower and then I am off to the races. (did you join my event) What? Not yet? Well now's the time.

Art Fabian Company has held the first annual Like-a-Thon to sponsor its Art-as-a-Present Collection.  I suppose dear reader, that you haven't heard about it. Not manypeople did apparently.  There was very little attendance.  Well thats what you expect for the very first attempt. I put some posters up around town and the general critisism is that I didn't give people enough time to really get to the LIke-a-thon. .Even though I did not get much participation from others I personally benefited from it. So much so that I am planning another Like-a-Thon in the last weeks of summertime. I think I will book the spot right now. The goal of the first Like-a-thon was to get 200 likes for www.facebook.com/artasapresent.  This was to get publicity for the Art as a Present Collection.  We got no where near that so that will be the goal for Like-a-thon 2.
