Dear Snowballers,
From the Desk of SnowmentumHello there. My name is John Pick. I’m an actor living in Los Angeles, but I’m originally from Chicago.
Some time back, I created an event called The Snowball Party — an event where the audience snowballs together: from pairs of 2, to groups of 4, to tribes of 8, to Snowpacks of 16. I also created a series called The Best of Craigslist, where I take crazy Craigslist posts and play the characters who post them.
Now I’m putting them together in a new venture called Snowmentum. It’s a newspaper made by actors, with videos and live events, specializing in creating joy and connection. It’s a superspreader. A tribal, pop-up, performative social adventure — a social tournament, a happening for the digital age, an escalating adventure-show.
I’ll throw 9 Snowballs a month, and also deliver beautiful and great content. And I’m asking you to opt in and fuel the Snowmentum.
We’re currently in dress rehearsal/spring training on the new version. If you’re interested in attending a live event, text “Freshies” to 1-888-559-SNOW and you’ll get instructions on when and where to meet. Thanks so much — hope to see you in the snow.
Sincerely yours,
John Pick
Head of the Snow Patrol
