Staying Alive

Believe it or not, both Adverb and I live.

The last few weeks have been filled with fourteen-hour days working on a new business pitch (we didn’t get it), pre-production for a massive Gatorade shoot I’ll be leaving for in early January, an add-on print shoot that de-evolved into a stop-drop-and-roll process, a full-on agency presentation, an agency holiday party (which I passed on), a fussy baby at home and about a million other things, the algebra of which left X minus infinity for blogging time.

Even today, when the agency closed at 2:00 PM, I’m waiting around for client feedback on a pressing job. There’s never a dull moment in the ad jungle.

Things are looking up, though.

In January, look for me to start posting a blow-by-blow of what it’s like to sweat through a two million dollar film production outside the country.

I promise not to gloat (too much).

In the meantime, I hope you all have a happy, safe and prosperous Holiday and New Year and I hope to catch you all visiting my little corner of the ad jungle after Dick Clark goes to bed.

Pressure from the She Monkey

Been a little out of pocket lately; working on a new business pitch that’s been keeping me at the office at all hours of the day and night. In the meantime, the She Monkey commented on the video, below, so I guess I’ll have to follow suit at some point.

After you’ve watched the video, think about the bonuses: 1) no cost, 2) super romantic (so you’ll probably get lucky) and, 3) it increases the effects of the anniversary champagne.

Can’t go wrong with that.

Sweetness

If all CGC was like this, I’d shut the hell up, send Jaffe a hundred bucks and quit my job.

Presenting “Tony vs. Paul.” (Someone hire these guys.) Enjoy.
