Is that Jim from The Office?


Design Cooperative Happy Hour, originally uploaded by toephoto.

It's actually Logan in his new office at Design Cooperative.

Here's photos I took at their first Happy Hour. Good to see old faces and new friends.

Don't look at this Web site.

Came across this site from @conraddecker. Love the brash, I could care less if you like me approach to marketing services. The world could use more people like this.

Mike, would probably tell me to eff myself, but I've found that dissing big agencies can backfire, especially when you find the need to partner with one. Learned that lesson first hand.

The big question is, who would respond to this approach? Most big agencies, who tend to have the large clients, would be offended, not that I really care so much. Small to mid-size businesses don't have dedicated Marketing people and hence wouldn't be savvy enough to understand the premise.

Apparently the guy's got a lot of work to do. Not that I give a crap. ;-)

Red tied one on.


Knotacess Fundraiser, originally uploaded by toephoto.

A friend and client, Efferem Williams invited me to a fundraiser for Alzheimer's at the Twisted Martini, called the Red Tie, Red Dress.

Anywho, she's not wearing a red dress, but some of the other models were. If you can call it a dress.

Awesome fun night, from what I can remember..
