Fluffy's Chain...different name for a band! Thanks for sharing the story. Paul, it sounds like you had great fans and it is a good example of spreading the word.

Our fans were at that age when they were all shooting off overseas. They simply honoured my request to post the stickers in unusual public places. The stickers were biodegradable, so they're all long gone. But for a brief, sweet moment in time, the whole world wondered, 'What the hell is Fluffy's Chain?!'

Regarding your band how did you get the stickers to end up overseas? Hi Paul,

I must admit when I found this story I was struck by the simpicity of it and how today we might be overthinking and complicating things.

Regarding your band how did you get the stickers to end up overseas?

I'd forgotten how entertaining a story can be. I read many 'pieces' each day, but yours imparted its truths while educating and entertaining. It also reminded me of a band I had many moons ago. We launched a sticker campaign and they ended up in France, China and Iceland, with photos to prove it. While this activity didn't get too many more people to our gig in Collingwood, it was loads of fun for all concerned. Thanks for the memories, and the learning. Best regards, P. :) Wow, Susan, you’ve come out of the blocks firing in 2010! I’d forgotten how entertaining a story can be.
