Overheard: First Date

Via AgencySpy:

Last night one of our spies was standing in line outside the Union Square Theater on East 17th Street to see a show when he/she noticed that he/she and his/her significant other were surrounded by people on first dates. On of those people was a complete jackass, and we have some fun quotes from the evening.

"The men were mostly talking about themselves and the women were standing about two feet away from them with their arms crossed," says spy. "Which is when we picked up the fact that the short 26-year-old...man behind us also worked in advertising."

This outta be good:

"This city is full of agencies, I can name like 3 agencies in the surrounding 5 blocks."

"I'm basically in charge of advertising for ____."

"Okay, so there's basically 2 types of advertising, there's the crazy brand advertising which is like 'oh look at us, look at us' and then there's the direct marketing which is like 'this is how much this product costs'...which is way more effective."

"There was an article on media net, you wouldn’t know it because you;re not in media, and it was like all the people working in digital are young. We grew up in a digital era. The old guys didn't get it, it's the guys who are 25, 26 like me, managing more money than I've ever seen. It's a lifestyle."

"Have you ever seen Mad Men? It's about what advertising use to be like it's like being treated with all this lavish stuff, going to crazy dinners and stuff, smoking Cuban cigars and just drinking scotch all day."

"We still get treated all lavish, like my AOL rep gave me tickets to this band Phoenix. Have you heard of them? They're from France, they're so hot right now."

"It's like being treated like 5 social classes above you."
(talking about clients taking you out)

Back to our spy: "Normally, I wouldn't care, it would have been fun to just stand there and listen to that Hindenburg of a date nosedive into the ground."

Let this be a lesson to all of you: don't be that guy.

Spy: "If you're not into brands than you shouldn't have mentioned ____, you should have told her 'There's a new phone for $99 with a 2 year contract...wanna fuck?" Hahahaha.

Love it.

DTBDRHH -- Number 9

Photo by Richard Masoner.

DT's Burning Daylight Rolling Happy Hour (DTBDRHH) is going to be held on Friday June 19, 2009. This is a rain or shine event. Please mark you calendars.

The drill, as usual, will be to meet at Washington's Crossing State Park in New Jersey at the parking lot by the river with bicycles ready prior to 5:00 PM EDT, because we will leave promptly at 5:00. The goal, also as usual, is to ride to Lambertville and New Hope and stop in several of the establishments for refreshments and then ride back to Washington's Crossing before it gets completely dark.

Keep in mind that we have never made it back before dark, and at least one time it wasn't clear we would even make it back by dawn.

If you don't have a bicycle, or can't ride, or simply refuse to ride, this is OK. You should come out anyway and meet up with us in New Hope and/or Lambertville; we would love to see you. Also please tell anyone and everyone you know about it. We would love to see them too.

If you don't want to be bothered, let me know and you will be removed from any additional e-mail for this year, or forever (please specify).

Details on the actual route, actual bars, the evening's fight card, mile marker location of the traditional "rolling" craps game (now in its fifth year), and other assorted ride details will be sent in the coming days. And just in case you forgot, eff CPL.

At your service,
Ska

Day 12 Stats: Tastes Great, Less Filling

There is a reason Day 12 stats are so late, the story involves broken promises, faded dreams, lost hopes and unfulfilled personal journey’s, but that is a story for another time. I will just say sorry it has taken so long….

Since writing about something that happened 3 weeks ago is far too difficult for an individual who can't remember what he had for lunch yesterday, Gman will tell the story of how day 12 could have went, if this were a beer commercial in the 80's (maybe 70's I don't really remember)

We all meet at the bar, Bobo says that Miller Light taste great, gman disagrees and says that it is less filling. I huge fight ensues, TDDoC participants and patrons of the bar choose sides, a huge riot erupts Bubba Smith and Bronco Nagurski join the fray. Eman on a stick (EOAS) jumps on the table and yells "sic semper tyrrannis" then attempts to jump on gman's back, forgetting that he has no arms, he slips and breaks his stick and limps away into the night... cole walks in grabs a beer and says "vini, vidi, I drank"... later cole is being stabbed in the back by a number of the taste great contingent and can be heard saying "et tu mosso" as he falls to the ground. The "Less filling" group threatens to secede from the NJ chapter of the TDDoC. Trent Eman threatens to march through Pennington and burn the town if he can't get a decent quesadilla. Dorian see's Donna say hello to Tamp gets the wrong idea, commits a double murder, leaves a bloody glove and could last be seen racing away in a white ford bronco with Big Lou. Goettle stands up in regal way and says what a king would say, "Can't we all just get along".

Fed up with the proceedings, Ryan Goettle then takes a shot glass and throws it threw a mirror and yells "Listen up, I don't like fighting, you people are all fighting, it makes me sick just to be in here". Cooler heads prevail, the fighting ceases. We eat lots of pizza and receive a huge bill and drag our near lifeless bodies away. Walking away Bobo punches gman in the face and says it taste great, b*tch.

Traditionally at this time everyone is invited to join the mythic TDDoMLK but stats are so late that TDDoMLK is over… We will be in contact for other events

The only memorable e-mail written while at Americom...

The IT and Finance Departments have conducted a review of Printers/Copiers to investigate the increased amount of downtime and help tickets as well as to assist with Project 361 cost containment.

During research on the Printer/Copier Project, it was noted that there is a significant price difference between color and black/white copies. Color copies are 10¢ per copy, while black and white copies are 1¢ per copy (ten times more expensive to print in color). In addition, it appears that frequent replacement of color cartridges is a contributing factor to machine breakdowns.

Concurrent initiatives are underway to address these issues:

>> A new Printer/Copier policy (attached) will be implemented effective immediately. This policy promotes the use of technology over hard copies. It encourages black and white copies when paper is necessary.

>> Network printers will be defaulted to black and white on Friday, October 13, 2006.

>> Printer/Copier expenses and downtime will continue to be tracked to see if there are improvements after implementation of the new policy.
