Today was fun. Where do I start?

Ok.....So I got the sticker and biz cards from Joe at Empire squared away. I got the "Rock the Roller Tees" squared away. I just printed some more flyers for shits and giggles. By the way, the party is packed at this point. I met with Market Street Cafe to get an idea of the location, and the meet the owner. Jeff is the owner, he's cool as shit. I met Chris from Machine Gun, and I met Blair who seems like a guy that works there, I'm not sure. I met Stacy the bartender, and I got comfortable there.

I spent some time today picking some of my guys brains. I want to be the unifier for this company, because I know how important it is. (Make money for the company)I'm going to work on a plan that I can present to my boys. I need to include them in this process! Very Important. Also, ID tags are important as well. (Tony wants Biz Cards)

I pretty much sealed the deal with our participants, Play and Warehouse 9. We'll have another point of contact tomorrow.

When the print jobs are done from Joe, make time to go to Hampstead and see the location. Good work with Joe. Same deal with Tony. We've got to pay him upon pick-up.

You've got a Momentum meeting on Monday morning.

Thanks to John, the idea for parking at Lumber Liquidators is almost a go. Just go and seal the deal tomorrow.

The plan seems to be pretty important, so think of a "smarter not harder" way to do this.

Kickoff for the Website launch with Nathan Snell should be tomorrow. Get with George and Nathan.

Press release is still in your inbox. Try to figure out what to do with that. Maybe get in contact with someone who has experience with this.

Get in touch with Robb from Go Auto Sound, and talk to him about some ways to get involved.

Design the freakin flyers already. Scott is the source for this. There is also a flyer that just came up today. It's for a track event. Figure out the details, and be aware that the rest of the Company may not know yet. !!!!!

Jamie wants to put some stuff on ebay

Chris wants to put a working display on the Dyno TV for the event that list the names and rankings for the Dyno Challenge.

Get Shifty

Tying up loose ends is cool. I feel like I've accomplished shit today. Today's day was very design oriented, production artist involved, and brand focused. The new site is on the plate, ready to be tweaked and leaked. Promotions are going great, and the event should happen with ease so as long as I follow up with the 3rd party entertainment junks. Nina is planning and Scott is promoting. We've got a new baby on the way, and we need to give it an identity. The website for this is going to be a challenge, and we've got to be quick.

How do you launch a product so quick? We've got a semi-foundation, and now we need to focus in on our market and attack with a quick swift. This is going to be freakin' hard, but fun as shit. Let's go to Florida! Yea Boi!

Anyways, we've got some networking to do in the meantime, and some design worked to be carefully accomplished. This blog is really helping me keep track of my new position at work. But I've got to create and master a flow. Which, maybe there is no such thing. Who knows. I'm gold though.

Brand National Speed, aim for laying foundation for franchises.

Brand Momentum, aim for differentiation and quick market exposure. Lucrative.

Be diligent and patient.

Keep on designing good flyers.

Okay, gotta roll.
