The flyers visitors received as they entered the show gave information on the artist, the show and a link to her blog. On the back was information about The Daily City, the Orlando Improv Festival and the infamous "baby chair." Next to the show flyer inside the black lacquered tray was a copy of the July 2010 "Orlando Arts Magazine" which featured an article about Mark Baratelli and ThedailyCity.com Mobile Art Show.
