   I just got back from a planning meeting with Danny at 202 Market about the upcoming Ad2 Reunion.  First of all let me say that this venue and this manager could not be better or more fun to work with.  Not only are they letting us completely take over their loft, but they’re also creating a specialty menu of drink and snackie items to go along with our theme.  I don’t know specifics yet, but some ideas we tossed around were Banaramas, Totally Tubular Tinis, slap to your wrist shots, Gold Chain Mr. Tea’s, and Aqua Nets.  Stay tuned for more details and continue to save the date, Tuesday, 9/8 at 6:00 in the loft of 202 Market in downtown Roanoke.

Hope to see you all there!

Advertising Reassessment

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009

Designers, are you frustrated at that Art Director who’s made you edit the same single column ad for the 12th time this week? Art Directors, are you upset with the A.E. that has requested a dozen changes to a simple newspaper ad ‘to get it just right’? Account Executives, are you growing impatient with the clients that are forcing you to talk with those socially awkward and pale ‘creatives’ for, like, the millionth time because they gave you the wrong telephone digit or something? Copywriters, feeling unappreciated? Programmers, getting down in the mouth? When it’s all said and done, what have we accomplished, really? Why do we continue this farce we call ‘advertising’?

Fortuantely, Everything Is Terrible has provided us with this presentation to put it all back into perspective for us:

In case you were wondering, this is why that tune sounds familiar. You can thank me in the comments section.
