Remember This: Drive-In Memories
Oh, the memories: Friends, late nights without a chaperone, the mattress in the back of your dad’s pick-up, snuggling under blankets in the cold air, steamy windows, food everywhere and a whole lot of NOT watching the movie. I think one of the main draws of the Drive-In was that it was the one place … Continue reading »
Photolust: Devin Begley Photography and the Decobelles
My friend from high school, Devin Begley, has always been a talented guy. Seems like no matter what he does he has been good at it — and photography is no exception.

Where are they now: Eric Carle
Do you remember Eric Carle? He’s hit several children’s litterary grand slams like, “Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See?”(1967) and, “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” (1969). Seriously, who could forget? (Probably most of us, until I brought it up– but the point is you now remember who he is.) Bright, sunny, animal illustrations that made … Continue reading »

Once again my Tuesday night advertising class gave us another wonderful experience with our guest speaker Maureen Reagan. Not only was Maureen extremely interesting and knowledgeable she so was absolutely hilarious. Here’s a little background on her- “Maureen Reagan channels her attention-to-detail and obsession with to-do lists as a member of Yahoo!’s Global Consumer Marketing … Continue reading »
A round of applauso (that’s spanish!) for Guest Speaker Chris Borders
Tonight in ADV 121 we were lucky enough to have Chris Borders come in and discuss the laws surrounding trademarks, sweepstakes, and contests. I found it really interesting to learn about all the fine print that goes into making sure you aren’t going to be sued for giving away prizes unfairly. You would think that … Continue reading »
