Brain Drizzle.

I don't usually talk about work stuff on here, but this weekend was a huge soiree that yielded flashbacks to many-a-Stetson event. Except this time it was the grown-up version and I didn't have to do the planning. Whereas before we had frantic trips to Sams and the party store and Sara and I would be cutting and chopping and arranging, this time they had caterers. Whereas before we served as the "security" to keep the sobriety of participants at a reasonable level, this time there was hired security and valet parking. Whereas before we bribed student musicians with gift certificates to Moe's, this time there was a classy jazz trio.

Oh geez. Now I feel old. But some things still hold true - working with a group of amazing people. Above is Jane, Nancy, and Caroline (who has just left and I will miss terribly) as we celebrated the end of the party and beginning of cleanup with a bottle of champagne.


Brain Drizzle.
I'd like to call it a brainstorm, but Jon stuck a pin in my voodoo-doll stomach that left my brainpower going towards not dying rather than being creative. Or perhaps it was a 24 hour version of the stomach virus that has swept through my workplace. Either way, the brain drizzle was supposed to focus on the website and we did manage to get a few things hatched out. Jon whipped out the sketchbook and stumbled upon this little gem: the original page of practice signatures that led to the brand image (see lower left corner with a circle and check mark).

Then there was a lot of scribbling and talking and scribbling and talking.

Fred joined in the efforts by helping Jon sketch and keeping me warm.
If all else fails, this last-ditch effort might totally work: "please buy my stuff". Yea? ... Like I said...brain drizzle.

But a few fun ideas did come out of it, all of which will be swathed in secrecy until I have more documentation or they go live.


This is just a quick post to catch up on other happenings before the next...really big...incredibly exciting...post about LAST NIGHT'S WIN!!! I'm too excited to even talk about it right now. OK bye.
