Okay, so the cute act hasn't worked, the pleading doesn't seem
to have done the job either. So now it's come down to threats:
If we don't get chairs for the remaining sessions we'll release
to the market, piece-by-piece, the following acts of cultural
vandalism:

- Bill Bitner's "Best of Karaoke" DVD (with bonus 12 hours of
  hilarious out-takes)
- Richard Lewis' narrated slide show "Great Telegraph Poles of
  the South West"
- Jim Vincent recites famous soliloquies from "The Bold and
  the Beautiful"
- Rob van Der Heij's interpretation of Hamlet as a series of
  pipeline stages
- A copy of my own "Stool Pathology for Dummies"
- Rick Barlow's instructional video "Auto-taxidermy"
- Adam Thornton's "Guide to Great Cough Syrup Vintages"
- Alan Altmark illustrated instructional "Leprosy for fun and
  profit"
- Martha McConaghy hums the themes of TV's greatest Reality
  Shows
- Chuck Morses' classic "Introduction to Java" - as performance
  art
- A thesis describing a new branch of mathematics based on the
  wine bill from a dinner with Romney White, Mike Cowlishaw,
  and Steve Record
