A Glimpse at PAX

Went to PAX yesterday and it was insane. There was a shortage of passes, so I had to wait about an hour until I could get one. I went across the street and paid $8 for a crummy beer at Cheesecake Factory. Never again.

PAX blew me away. The convention center was completely transformed. Note, this is the same place I had my high school graduation ceremony (for the record, PAX was much more enjoyable).

I took some photos on my crappy phone camera of things that caught my eye:

End of the Internship

My internship at Wunderman Seattle is coming to an end. I am happy to say that I've been offered a position as a freelance contract designer, so I get to stick around.

Tomorrow is PAX, and I am super excited to see what all they'll have there. I'm definitely going to bring some hand sanitizer, though. I heard that last year swine flu broke out.

Here's the intern video we made:

SummerDaze Weekend

I finally got to enjoy 2 solid days of summer. I'm listing out below what I did with them:

Friday Night:

• Went to snoqualmie casino with Gabi & Reed.
• Played roulette & blackjack. I lost $60.
• Spent the night with my sister at my folk's place.

Why, hello there friend.

Don't think I don't see you making eyes at me...

Rocky VII: Silverfinger

A week ago today I was at the company picnic and jammed my left pointy finger while playing a game of horse. Bummer.

I'm no athlete, so of course it makes sense that the one time I pick up a ball I go and hurt myself. Needless to say I haven't been able to bend it much since and have had it in a fancy splint I bought at Rite Aid.
Typically this wouldn't be blog-worthy, however I have a show on Saturday that I'm really excited about since we'll be debuting a bunch of new songs. Sooo, this basketball mishap is kind of an extra bummer now that I can't play guitar the way I typically would...you know, with all 10 fingers.

Through frustration creativity is born, and it didn't take long before I found a way to celebrate this unfortunate event. Really, I owe a lot of it to my super cool boss, Bo Geddes. He is one of the creative masterminds at Wunderman: Impact. He jokingly (at first) said it'd be cool to do a Rocky montage with my finger—prepping for the "big night". It was a funny idea, but then I got excited about it and watched the montage over, and over again.

So, this weekend I will be filming Rocky VII: Silverfinger. Maybe tomorrow I will post some of the props that will be included in the filming. We'll see. Until then, I leave you with this:
