We Didn’t Get Scared, Or; Austin Vs. Boston

Austin got guerrilla marketed too, and we didn’t waste $500,000 on the bomb squad. Maybe that’s why I moved here from New England. Are we smarter?

I’m just wondering, does this look like a BOMB to you???
Makes me want to go buy a Lite Brite.
In case you live under a rock, here’s the story .

Aftermath

Some of last night, I had predicted: a full house, people in costume, a funny little intro. Smiles and anticipation.
And then…well, you had to be 30+ for some of it. They were just music videos. And you just watched. Or sang, if you knew the words. I hadn’t known maybe the first 5 songs until […]

Total Eclipse of the…

Alamo Drafthouse has been one of the best things in Austin to me, always. I have been to movies, Spike and Mike’s Sick and Twisted Animation, and Mr. Sinus Theatre. I have seen that thing where they get everyone drunk and have them make a movie. I have been to events that sell out weeks […]

So Sweet

I have made a link up on the right to every post about the trip, in order, and next to a map of New Zealand. I deserve hugs. Thanks for checking it out. Somegosoftly loves you all!

Marketing Secrets Revealed By Lotion

Mike and I have a favorite argument at about 1:30am. I’ll be spaced out on the couch watching an infomercial, for some big thing that you sit in or on or by, or just light and put on the counter, that makes you skinny. I will say something like, “I need that. That looks serious. […]

Old me: […]

Nice Shirt

Two great things about this:
*The shirt is pretty funny, as is the description, written by a blogger I’ve added a new link for
*The little icon on the bar is a monkey.
Could it get any better?

My Bar

When (okay, if) I have a bar, and it’s going to shut down, and it’s the last night of the bar, and you come to celebrate the closing, well - it will be a lot more fun that it was at Tambaleo last night.
Not to knock the birthday girl, who is currently calling Lindsey Lohan […]

Didn’t Know I’d Be Taking A Guilt Trip

Once in a while, I do something nice. Don’t let it fool you, I don’t want you thinking you can get anything out of me. But I really, really, really didn’t want to Bowl, not for anyone’s sake, not even for Big Brothers Big Sisters. But I’m doing it. Grr.
I’m a team leader, which means, […]
